SCRUB ME MAMA, WITH A BOOGIE BEAT
|
Will Bradley
|
|
In Harlem there's a little place where everyone goes
|
To see the way a washer woman washes her clothes
|
If you like Boogie Woogie rhythm, she's got a beat
|
Let the Boogie Woogie washer woman give you a treat.
|
|
On every afternoon at one the sessions begin
|
And all the boys from all the bands come down and sit in
|
They sit around and knock each other out when they play
|
While the Boogie Woogie washer woman washes all day
|
|
Rub diddle ub dub, that's just the way she rubs
|
Rub diddle ub dub, that's just the way she scrubs
|
Rub diddle ub dub, she wears out all her tubs
|
She rubs and rubs her knuckles right on down to the nubs
|
|
Rub diddle ub dub, that's how she kicks it off
|
Rub diddle ub dub, she keeps it nice and soft
|
Rub diddle ub dub, till someone hollers
|
"Aw, scrub me maman, with a Boogie beat!"
|
|
You really ought to visit there is you've never been
|
It doesn't cost a penny, just come down and walk in,
|
If you like Boogie Woogie rhythm you'll get a treat,
|
Let the Boogie Woogie washer woman give you the beat.
