Scubbin' |
| Wash woman |
| I know you’re tired |
| Of taking in clothes |
| A dollar three-eighty a day |
| Know your back is hurtin' |
| And that’s for certain |
| Been bendin' over half of the day |
| You’re beatin' clothes on a washtub |
| Scrub 'em in an iron tub |
| Long as we keep on singin' this song |
| I know you won’t mind workin' |
| All night long … |
| I know you rub-a-dubba-dubba |
| Mama, bust them suds |
| (Scrub, Mama scrub) |
| Again you rub-a-dubba-dubba |
| Mama, bust them suds |
| (Scrub, Mama scrub) |
| 'kay now, mama |
| You gonna never play |
| For the livin' in '44 |
| Ain’t gonna come a rainy day |
| Keep on working |
| Keep those shirts and drawers |
| As long as we keep on rolling on |
| You won’t mind doing it all night long |
| You got to rub-a-dubba-dubba |
| Mama, bust them suds |
| (Scrub, Mama scrub) |
| Hey now, you gotta rub-a-dubba-dubba |
| Mama, bust them suds |
| Scrub, Mama scrub |
| (Spoken: |
| If you stop playin' them numbers |
| I tell you up front |
| You may be able to save the whole family |
| At the rate the things you’re doin' is goin' |
| We may all be out on the street come morning) |
| I tell you, Mama |
| Your dreams won’t help at all |
| You might lose your mind in alcohol |
| And that ain’t gonna get it a’t’all |
| Listen at me, Mama |
| Please hear my song |
| Long as you keep bustin' suds |
| I tell you gonna get it on and on |
| Hey now can you rub-a-dubba-dubba |
| Mama, bust them suds |
| (Scrub, Mama scrub) |
| Hey now won’t you rub-a-dubba-dubba |
| Mama, bust them suds |
| (Scrub, Mama scrub) |
| (Fadeout) |
| Hey now you got a rub it |
| And then you dub it down |
| Can you dig it? |
| After you rub it a while |
| You dub it in the tub down there |
| With that soapy water |
| All over them dirty clothes |
| You’re gonna need Tide for the action |
| You see them come out of the washing machine… |
