CAROLINE Nothing happens underground in Louisiana. Cept in this house, cept here, cept here: At nine-thirteen Saint Anthony Street in Lake Charles Louisiana: This house got a basement. THE WASHING MACHINE This house got a basement. True. No other house round here gots one. This one this one this one do. CAROLINE Ain’t very deep for a basement but still it planted in the swampy soil, sunk in the mud and the marsh and the mire, down with the snakes and the snails and the bracken, root to the bayou root to the ooze… THE RADIO …singing them sediment topsoil blues, alluvial delta-silt saltwater ooze. THE WASHING MACHINE Hum hum hum hum round and round I agitates while them what does the clothes awaits, they contemplates and speculates, in the peace my one-horsepower lectric motor’s hum creates: RADIO AND WASHING MACHINE What shall be? What lies in store in nineteen-sixty-three? or –four? [Thanks to Michael for lyrics] Back to main page: Caroline, or Change Lyrics
