CAT IN A WASHING MACHINE

I put a cat in the washing machine And watched it And watched it spinning around and around And uh I saw its little face drowning in the suds And saw its Little paws trying to claw their way out Ooh, and it made me feel kinda funny and Uh dontcha know it made me feel alright Like a mighty wind all rushing up inside of me And gushing out through my mouth like sound Whoosh I put a bat in the washing machine, it took me Simply hours and hours to catch it Cos it’s been so very frightened of me Ever since I I pulled its wings off and pumped on its head Ooh, Daddy, can you see me in my parachute? No, you can’t because I am invisible I’m gonna drop behind enemy lines With a target on my breast And a sign saying “Enemy” BOY: Mummy, Mummy. Look at the moon. It looks like an angry horse. MOTHER: What? No, it doesn’t. BOY: Yes. Yes, it does, in my eyes. I put a lizard in the washing machine And found it So tediously unsatisfying, so I I lifted up the hem of my skirt and there was A load of squirrels and geese inside it Ooh, Elvis, can you see me now Dancing in the ditch like an Aztec adventurer? I’m gonna change my name to Pariah Carey And throw a queenie When I can’t get my Special Brew Ooh, can you see me, Lonnie Donegan? Standing with a shovel in the ocean waves In my Peter Pan wig and my royal regalia I look a little like the Jack of Spades BOY: Mummy. The moon. MOTHER: How many times? It’s not a horse. BOY: But it is, Mummy. It’s a horse. A horse. A horse. A horse. MOTHER: Stop it. BOY: A horse. A horse. A horse. A horse. The moon is made of horses Ah-ooh-ah! Ah-ooh-ah! The moon is made of horses Neigh! The moon is made of horses Ah-ooh-ah! Ah-ooh-ah! The moon is made of horses Neigh! Can you see me standing in the fireplace Like Joan of Arc in the middle of the darkness? Later on, I’ll be standing on the roof In the wind pretending I’m a TV aerial And it looks so cool And it feels just great I’m writhing around on the lino And it feels so very good
