Everyone is Equal at the Laundromat
© Jennifer Mansfield 1999

Everyone is equal at the Laundromat
Everyone is equal at the Laundromat
Everyone has stinky socks and mismatched towels;
Underwear reflects the fruit of everyone’s bowels
This is not the year we’ll take a Princess Cruise
We won’t buy designer gowns with dyed to match shoes
If there is no dryer free you wait in line
If you do not talk to people they won’t mind

Everyone is equal at the Laundromat
Everyone is equal at the Laundromat
Little kids who run around are everyone’s pain
Vintage wine or grape juice, it’s the same old stain
Everyone is equal at the Laundromat
Everyone is equal at the Laundromat
Once you pull your linens out you can’t renege
You can’t hide your panties ‘cause they look too big

Dryers don’t dry faster if you get real sore
Washers don’t wash better if you pay them more
No one’s an aristocrat, everyone’s aware of that
Everybody’s equal at the Laundromat
