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 A-jerking 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 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) 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
