Wash, Mama, Wash Lyrics - Dr. John

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 

(Spoken: 

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) 

(Fadeout) 

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...
