I Got Four Kids Lyrics

[CAROLINE]
I got four kids
Four kids
Four kids
I got divorced
Had to
Four kids
Had to get divorced

[THE DRYER]
Oh...

[CAROLINE]
Been twenty-two years of cleaning
For all them years I worked and prayed
Every day I doing laundry
Thirty-nine and still a maid
In 1963
I thought for sure by now I'd be
Better off than this
Thirty-nine year old
I should be somewhere being kissed by
Nat King Cole

[THE DRYER]
Hey!
Hey... Hey... Hey...
Hey... Hey... Hey...

[CAROLINE]
It's 1963 and I
I wish every afternoon I die
Cook and clean
And mind that boy
Doing housework
Doing laundry
16 feet below the sea
Thought for sure by now I'd bе
Someplace cooler
Somеplace high
Someplace where there's something dry
That don't come from no electric dryer
Doing something finer
Something not as meek
As getting hit
And turning cheek
Hit
And turn the other cheek
Hit
And turn the other cheek
Doing laundry underground
For thirty dollars every week
Thirty dollars every week
And I am mean
And I am tough

[CAROLINE, THE WASHING MACHINE, and THE DRYER]
But thirty dollars ain't enough
Thirty dollars ain't enough

[CAROLINE]
Nothing happen underground in Louisiana
'Cause there ain't no underground in Louisiana
There is only underwater
