Lyrics
Sun is high and the sky’s so blue
Jorome and Josh got some work to do
Buckets in the trunk, detergent on the floor
Laundromat waiting with an open door
Island music spinning on the radio dial
Everyone’s laughing, making chores worthwhile
But Shanae brings her basket, shakes her head with a smile
Her kids’ clothes line up in a big old pile
No matter the soap, or how we try to scrub
That memi’ scent floats up in the tub
It’s memi’ in the breeze, wafting down the aisle
Quarter in the slot, spin it again
Josh is joking round, Jorome joins in
Socks and shirts tumbling, chasing the sun
But memi’ still lingering when the wash is done
Laundry’s not perfect but the laughter’s real
It’s Chamorro love in every load we feel
But Shanae brings her basket, shakes her head with a smile
Her kids’ clothes line up in a big old pile
No matter the soap, or how we try to scrub
That memi’ scent floats up in the tub
It’s memi’ in the breeze, wafting down the aisle
Maybe next Friday, we’ll try a new plan
Lemon and vinegar, down the spin cycle they ran
But the island wind carries memi’ all the while
And Shanae’s just laughing, embracing the style
But Shanae brings her basket, shakes her head with a smile
Her kids’ clothes line up in a big old pile
No matter the soap, or how we try to scrub
That memi’ scent floats up in the tub
It’s memi’ in the breeze, wafting down the aisleOcean breeze blowing, reggae song on repeat
Memi’ in the memory, island life is sweet
