Wash, Mama Wash - Remastered

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...
