Look at the kid from school
Hes teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
Hes changing fashion, the way he dress
The tracksuits are old, and the hoodys way too moody
For a kid with the will to funk
He dances in secret; hes a part-time punk
Shes getting off the plane
She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
The kids fighting up the lane
Shop lifting, just drifting
Like The Switchblade And The Cross
But if theres trouble shes got the moves
Shes taking an elementary class in Kung fu
I left my washing in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my washing
The black will be grey and the white will be grey
But the blues are still blue
Im crying out for my mum
If the malady dont go away were in a little trouble
With the boss of the company
Im a singer, a swinger Im a layabout but laying on
The dock in the lazy sun
Will never quite relegate me to a bum
I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white and the white will be black
But the blues are still blue
Baby, I love your face
Ive been creeping round this town because
Well, creepings just my way
But with a little wink Ill be there
Ill be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade
I know your young, but youre out of touch
Youre French, your vocabularys not quite formed
I left my homework in the launderette
I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate
I hid behind the fence
Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog
Hes not making much sense
I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white and the white will be black
But the blues are still blue
