Scrubbin'

Wash woman, I know you're tired of takin' 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 workin'

Keep those shirts and drawers a-jerkin'

As long as we keep on rollin' on

You won't mind doin' it all night long

You got to rub-a-dubba-dubba

Mama, bust them suds (Scrub, mama, scrub)

Hey now, you got to rub-a-dubba-dubba

Mama, bust them suds (Scrub, mama, scrub)

If you stop playin' them numbers

I tell ya up front

You may be able to save the whole family

'Cause at the rate the things you're doin' is goin'

We may all be out in the street come mornin'

I tell ya, mama

Your dreams won't help at all

You might lose your mind in alcohol

And that ain't gonna get it at all

Listen at me, mama

Please, hear my song

Long as you keep bustin' suds

I tell ya gonna get it on and on

Hey now, can ya rub-a-dubba-dubba?

Mama, bust them suds (Scrub, mama, scrub)

Hey now, won't ya rub-a-dubba-dubba

Mama, bust them suds (Scrub, mama, scrub)

Hey now, do ya rub-a-dub?

You got to rub it

Then ya got to dub it down, can ya dig it?

After you rub it a while, ha

Ya 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 seem them come out of the washin' machine
