I...had to get laundry done
Even though it's not fun
Walked down...the street
And threw a load in

I...I was so sleepy
Stayed up far too late, you see
And I woke...to find
That my clothing had left me

I fell asleep with some Tide for a headrest
I'm filled with regrets
I found when I came to

Somebody stole my sweater
Three loads were mixed together
Somebody stole my sweater
What should I do?

Whoa-oh-oh

Although my whites are brighter
My basket is somewhat lighter
Somebody stole my sweater
What can I do?

It...it was soft, baby blue
And it was my favorite, too
I had worn...it when
I met my boyfriend

And I...lost more than just a cardigan
Some pants I'd borrowed from a friend
Who I...had just told
I'd return them today

I never thought that somebody would snake them
Who would just take them?
What can a girl do?

Somebody stole my sweater
Wool socks for colder weather
Somebody stole my sweater
What should I do?

Whoa-oh-oh

Although my whites are brighter
My basket is so much lighter
Somebody stole my sweater
What can I do?

(instrumental)

I think I just saw a bum in my new skirt
And Frodo T-shirt
There's nothing I can do

Somebody stole my sweater
Undies and sweat pants together
Somebody stole my sweater
What should I do?

Whoa-oh-oh

Although my whites are brighter
My basket is ten times lighter
Somebody stole my sweater
What can I do?
