Camper Van Beethoven - (I Was Born In A) Laundromat

Camper Van Beethoven

This one is just a cool, fun song. It’s got a great hook, a cool melody, and a great rocking sound. It’s your basic anthem, about being poor and bored and not having anything to do.

And of course, the lyrics:

Down here on the north side
I’m rattling with a tin
Down here on the river boat
I got sand in my shoes

It’s hotter than asphalt
It’s harder than pistols
I’m as bent as a crowbar
We all want some release

Just like the queen of the trailer park
Sometimes she’s the queen of the water, of the river

Down here on the tracks
We’re the kings of the trash
I was born in a laundromat
I was born in a cul-de-sac

And some of us are brown
And some of us are white
Just give me some tension release
Just give me some tension release

Just like the queen of the trailer park
Sometimes she’s the queen of the water, of the river

Down here on the tracks
We’re the kings of the trash
She’s the queen of the primo
She’s the queen of the bondo

And I was born in a laundromat
I was born in a cul-de-sac
Just give me some tension release
Just give me some tension release

Just like the queen of the trailer park
Sometimes she’s the queen of the water, of the river
