Oh, I took my lurex suit down to the laundromat I tried to get it clean But when I opened up that lid You shoulda seen what I seen Yeah, I like to spark in my rhinestone jeans You know I like to shine But I just wrecked a hundred dollar suit With a nickel, a quarter and a dime Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat I tell you, brother, that's not where it's at Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat If your suit's all dirty then I'm sorry 'bout that Like a little satin love a little silk To get me through the day But I'm so depressed with all this dirt That I'm gonna dress in grey Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat And that goes for leather and lace Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat It'll clean that smile right off your face If you put in your velvet, it'll come out a mess If you wanna wash here, you better change your dress Don't use the spin dry or the blue blue bleach It'll total your threads like dry cleanin' a peach Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat I tell you, brother, that's not where it's at Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat If your suit's all dirty then I'm sorry 'bout that Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat You wouldn't take a surfer to the snow Now there's a place for everything And for everything there's a place for it to go You wouldn't take a blind man to the movies You wouldn't take a surfer to the snow Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat 'Cause that's not the place for it to go So don't take your Lurex to the laundromat I tell you, brother, that's not where it's at Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat If your suit's all dirty then I'm sorry 'bout that If your suit's all dirty then I'm sorry 'bout that If your suit's all dirty then I'm sorry 'bout that
