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
