Press the button - a little wait –

    Then water starts to run –

Swish swash swish swash and swish again

     The washing’s just begun.

 

Swish swash swish swash and swish again,

     Now back the other way.

The washing in my mum’s machine

     Now gently starts to sway.

 

Then softly, softly - splish splash splosh

     Now back it comes again.

Then listen to that gentle sound,

     Like quietly falling rain.

 

Swish swash, swish swash and swish again,

      Back swim the dirty clothes,

Then look!  Oh look!  And look again,

     The washer’s had a doze.

 

Oh no, no, no – it’s on the move -

     It only had a rest -

For past me I see clearly now,

     My shirt, my pants and vest.

 

Swish swash, swish swash and swish again

     As round and round they go –

And, are they feeling giddy now?

     I guess I’ll never know.

 

The water changes - round they go,

     Then very gently spin.

Then rinse again and off once more . . . .

     But . . .  now there comes the din.

 

Rumble grumble, rumble – oh

     The clothes go round at speed.

Whizzing, whirring, whirling, whoosh!

     The spinner’s done his deed!

 

Then rumble grumble . . . ssslowing down . . .

     Mum’s washer’s lost its speed -

So quietness now, then chug chug chug - - - 

    All finished now, indeed!
