You gotta keep 'em separated You like the latest fashions You'd like to keep 'em clean You take a trip every week to the laundromat Throw a load in the washing machine But if you don't wanna ruin your clothes You gotta sort 'em out first as everyone knows Remember bright colors and the others don't mix Before you wash'em up, wash'em up, wash'em up, wash'em up Hey Are your undies turning pink Take 'em out (You gotta keep'em separated) Hey, are your cottons gonna shrink Sort 'em out (You gotta keep'em separated) Hey, then when it's time You can stick' em in the dryer You can hang 'em on a line Hey, it's laundry day
