| Washer woman, I know you’re tired
|
| Of taking in clothes
|
| A dollar three-eighty a day
|
| Your back is hurtin'
|
| And that’s for certain
|
| You been bendin' over half of the day
|
| You’re beat them clothes on a washtub now
|
| Scrub 'em in an iron tub
|
| But as long as we keep singin' this song
|
| I know you won’t mind workin'
|
| All day long
|
| If you rub-a-dubba-dubba
|
| Mama, bust them suds
|
| And scrub, mama scrub
|
| And then you rub-a-dubba-dubba
|
| Mama, down in the tub
|
| We gotta scrub, mama scrub
|
| And we, all the time
|
| We gotta scrub, mama scrub
|
| And now now, get down get down
|
| And scrub, mama scrub
|
| You oughta listen at me, mama
|
| You ain’t gonna never fail
|
| You started savin' in '44 now
|
| You know you save 'em for a rainy day
|
| Please come to me, mama
|
| We ain’t got time to play
|
| Soapy water and dirty clothes now
|
| They got you bendin' over half of the day
|
| We gotta rub-a-dubba-dubba
|
| Mama, bust them suds
|
| And scrub, mama scrub
|
| We gotta rub-a-dubba-dubba
|
| Mama, down in the tub
|
| We gotta scrub, mama scrub
|
| And then we, bust them suds
|
| Scrub, mama scrub
|
| We gotta, down in the tub
|
| We gotta scrub, mama scrub
|
| And then we, bust them suds
|
| Scrub, mama scrub
|
| We gotta, down in the tub
|
| We gotta scrub, mama scrub
|
| We gotta scrub, mama scrub
|
| And then we scrub, mama scrub |
