Wash, Mama, Wash(2006 Remaster) - Dr. John

作词：Mac Rebennack/Rebennack

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
