Clinging and Clanging
and Binging and Banging
my new washing machine
Oh' she's such a dream

200 duckets and no more
big buckets, I'm washing
in style, cleaning with a
smile. I walk thru the town,
the ladies all around give
me the eye; I'm house broke
now that's why. Special
little papers to give off the
vapors of lemon or lime, I
smell good all the time.
There's so much to learn,
the dials how they turn, all
around; what a lovely sound.

Clinging and Clanging
and Binging and Banging
my new washing machine
Oh' she's such a dream

--

Even Emily had bad days
Days when words would glow
Like volcanos full of love
Destroyed by the flow
Even Emily had bad days
I see it in her lovely eyes
You could be a feint in love
For the detached in the skies
Outflanked by the dreams
Parachuting right on by

The title made me laugh..

Sorta like those midnight commercials where there is always a "bonus" if you buy...

"And if you buy this potato peeler within the next 6 years we will throw in, with no additional charge to you, this 28 piece genuine silver serving set"

Loved the humor..

"if you won't let me fall for you
then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you"
