It’s laundry day!

Enjoy an English folk song from the 19th century:
‘Twas on a Monday morning
That I beheld my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble-o,
A-washing of her linen-o.
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
She stole my heart away…
Repeat and change to these words:
Tuesday → A-hanging
Repeat again, and again, it’s tedious work …
Wednesday → A-starching
Thursday → A-ironing
Friday → A-folding
Saturday → A-airing
Sunday → A-wearing

This traditional song goes non-traditional in a charming
performance by “Edward the Second”:

Here are some energetic rhythms for your laundry chores by
the virtuous musicians of “The Washboard Serenaders”:

“The Washboard Resonators” have an uplifting rhythm for you!
Lyrics: Ira Gershwin
Music: George Gershwin

The joy of doing laundry, Italian style:
“Il ballo delle lavandaie” (Dance of the Washerwomen):
