Broken cycles: Suds and Sorrows.

🎶 Dishwasher Blues 🎶

(Key of E, slow shuffle)

[Verse 1]

Well my dishwasher failed, oh it died real slow

Yeah, my dishwasher failed, man it had to go

Called a man to fix it—said, “I’ll give it a go”

[Verse 2]

He patched it up, yeah, for seventy pound

Thought I was lucky, thought I turned it around

But one week later, it E:15'd without a sound

[Chorus]

Now I got them dishwasher blues, deep in my soul

All this appliance drama, sho'nuff takin’ its toll

Spendin’ double, just to reach the goal

[Verse 3]

Found a new one, said “This’ll do the trick”

It fit just right, yeah it looked real slick

But the integrated price tag hit me like a dirty brick

[Verse 4]

They said, “Fitting’s extra”—that’s one-fifty more

Then “Disposal’s fifty”—I sank to the floor

“Delivery’s twenty”—I can’t take much more

[Chorus]

Oh I got them dishwasher blues, running through my veins

The kind of blues you get from money down the drain

And every time I wash a plate, I feel the pain

[Bridge]

Then the next man showed up, said, “We can’t connect it, son”

“You need a cert-i-fied E-lec-trician, or it can’t be done”

Called him up—he said, “One-fifty, with ad valourum now aint that fun!”

[Final Chorus]

Yeah I got them dishwasher blues, they’re here to stay

Could’ve washed by hand and saved the day

But now my wallet’s cryin’—it’s been filly rinsed

[Outro]

So if your washer breaks and starts to whine

Pour a drink, take your sweet ol’ time

‘Cause them dishwasher blues…

Are gonna be yours and mine 🎵
