Songtexte The Wash House AT The Back - George Formby

Now we've lived in our house for years, it's a lovely house an all
There's doors that lead into each room and floors between each wall
It's got two rooms upstairs and down and a washhouse at the back
It costs another half a crown for the washhouse at the back
It's nice and cosy quite all right
To make it bright and nice and light
The whitewashed walls all washed white in the washhouse at the back
We thought we'd stage a play one night in the washhouse at the back
With the Virgin Queen all dressed
In white in the washhouse at the back
And then the King cried out so mad,
'I'll rob you of your power by gad"
And the Virgin Queen lost all she had in the washhouse at the back
Our Thomas cat will never stray from the washhouse at the back
You'll always find him night and day in the washhouse at the back
Tho' he's in love with each Maria, to roam the tiles he's no desire
So they all sit round the copper fire in the washhouse at the back
That's where Pa told Ma the tale in the washhouse at the back
Their marriage lines hang on a nail in the washhouse at the back
Their honeymooning trip they broke and mother shouted, "It's no joke"
His pyjama suit she'd left to soak in the washhouse at the back
The flute I practise every night in the washhouse at the back
It thrills our servant with delight in the washhouse at the back
She's extra pretty she's a beaut, on music too she's really cute
Now she loves to twiddle on my flute in the washhouse at the back
An aeroplane nose-dived one day near the washhouse at the back
The one thing that got in its way was the washhouse in the back
That aeroplane in our back yard smashed every fence and windowpane
Then it swooped up in the sky again with the washhouse on its back
