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
