Name: I can do my laundry
Duration: P00H03M39S
Description: 'A post feminist workout' was how the 'Blues in Britain' magazine described this song. It is quirkily undermines blues and rock stereotypes. Lyrically this song is humourous. Musically it is interestingly close, but not too close to reggae. It is an usual blues recording which has raised many eyebrows in live performance.

lyrics

You don’t have to do my laundry baby
just show me how to use that machine,
you don’t have to do my laundry baby
just show me how to use hat machine
I can throw a switch like any man
you don’t have to treat me so mean.

I can do my own laundry baby
I can do it any time
I can do my own laundry
I can hang it on the line
I don’t need a slave now honey
I just want you to be mine

I can cook my own food
I can read a book like any man
and I can use a pot to cook with
I can make food seem like lots of fun
I can do my own tea girl
I don’t need your help on this one

Chorus

Baby I can clean the house
I can use the hoover to
I can put the bleach down baby
and I can make tea for two
I can make up your bed
and I can lay down your pretty head
I can make love to you little girl
Come on baby listen to me

Chorus
