I remember it was that Wednesday
Am/D G/D
Oh when it rained and it rained
Dm Am7 Dm Am/D Dm6
They traipsed mud all over the house
Dm Am7 Dm Am/D Gadd9/D Am/D
It took hours and hours to scrub it out

All over the hall carpet

I took my mop and bucket

And I cleaned and I cleaned

The kitchen floor

Until it sparkled

I watched them go 'round and 'round
Dm Am7 Dm Am/D Gadd9/D Dm
My blouse wrapping itself around your trousers
Am7 Dm Am/D Dm6
Oh and the waves are going out
Dm Am7 Dm Am/D Dm6
My skirt floating up around my waist
Dm Am7 Dm Am/D Gadd9/D
As I wade out into the surf
Am Em/A D/F# Dm
Oh and the waves are coming in
Am7 Dm Am/D Dm6 Dm
Oh and the waves are going out

Oh and you're standing right behind me

Little fish swim between my legs

Out of the corner of my eye

I think I see you standing outside

But it's just your shirt
Cm Eb
Hanging on the washing line
Bb/D Cm Eb
Waving its arm as the wind blows by
