The Lyrics
MABEL:
Poor laund'ring one
Your clothes are sorely stained
Bleachin' each load
Cries sounding woe'd
Poor laun'dring one
Poor laund'ring one
If such detergent as mine
Can ease thy pain
Cleansing each stain
Why, take it, it's a buck, nine
WASHERWOMEN:
Make soft, use gentle showers
Use all your clean-sing powers
MABEL:
Make clean, freshness will shine
If you need bleach, take mine
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooooooooooooo
Poor laund'ring one
All of your colors have strayed
You'll wear, I think
Everything pink
Poor laund'ring one
(etc.)
Poor laund'ring one
Your clothes are sorely stained
Bleachin' each load
Cries sounding woe'd
Poor laun'dring one
Poor laund'ring one
If such detergent as mine
Can ease thy pain
Cleansing each stain
Why, take it, it's a buck, nine
WASHERWOMEN:
Make soft, use gentle showers
Use all your clean-sing powers
MABEL:
Make clean, freshness will shine
If you need bleach, take mine
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooooooooooooo
Poor laund'ring one
All of your colors have strayed
You'll wear, I think
Everything pink
Poor laund'ring one
(etc.)

I feel your pain, having written one or two about laundry mishaps myself.
