The Laundromat Song (Imagine That) Songtext
von Chris Rosser

There′s an American girl
At the laundromat
With a tie-dyed shirt
And a baseball hat
She's reading a book about foreign movies
Imagine that

I think she belongs
On Italian streets
With windblown skirt
And sandaled feet
In a cafe where two strangers meet
Imagine that

Maybe she is dreaming of a film made by Fellini
With feathers falling
Maybe she is dancing over subtitles
In black and white
In a shiny gown
On a perfect night


While washers turn
And dryers heat
The girl has fallen fast asleep
And no movie scene
Could be so sweet
Imagine that

My clothes are dry
So I should go
But there′s no goodbyes and no hellos
I'm just a hopeless dreamer I know
Imagine that

Maybe she is dreaming of a film made by Fellini
With feathers falling
Maybe she is dancing over subtitles
In black and white
In a shiny gown
On a perfect night

There's an American girl
At the laundromat
With pages opened on her lap
A stranger turns for one look back
Imagine that
