       E                                     A
Well I sure do miss that good old electric washing machine
       E                               A
The one that we ain't got around here no more
       E                              
And I sure do miss that big round tub and them stompin, swinging sounds
                                     A
And I miss them groovy puddles on the floor
Spoken:
(The new one just sits there in all it's glory on Monday morninga|
Way over in the corner of the basement going (hummmmmmm)i.
But the old one went....( weird mouth sounds),a

      E                     
Well I cry when I when I see that
       B7             A      E
Brand new automatic washing machine
         E                                  A
Cuz I'm sentimental for the old machine still yet
          E                                           B7
Cuz the old one really looks like a real live washing machine
       E                      A                  E
But the new one just looks more like a television set
Spoken:
The new one just sits there a going...(hummmmmm)
But the old one went ......(weird mouth sounds)
          E                                  A
Tag:***** Call the Maytag Man if he is still in business,
                     E
