Scrub Me Mama Lyrics
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
