Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat
Composer(s): Don Raye

and multiple other artists



In Harlem there's a little place where everyone goes
To see the way a washerwoman washes her clothes
If you like boogie woogie rhythm, she's got a beat
Let the boogie woogie washerwoman 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 washerwoman washes all day

Rubbley-ub-dub, that's just the way she rubs
Rubbley-ub-dub, that's just the way she scrubs
Rubbley-ub-dub, she wears out all her dubs
She rubs and rubs her knuckles right down to the nubs!

Rubbley-ub-dub, that's how she kicks it off
Rubbley-ub-dub, she keeps it nice and soft
Rubbley-ub-dub, till someone hollers on
"Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!"

You really ought to visit there if 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 washerwoman give you the beat!

Rub rub rub rub, a-rubbin' all day
She's a-scrubbin' a boogie woogir rhythm all day!
Scrub, rub, a-washin' all day
Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!

Scrub me mama, scrub me clean
And let me dream till 
Rubbley-ub-dub, that's the way she scrubs
Rubs rubs rubs, rubbib' along
Singin' a baloogie woogie song

Toot-toot-toot-doodley-ah-dah!
That's how she kicks it off
Ti-diddley-ah-hah!
She keeps it nice and soft
Ti-diddley-ah-hah!
To someone, all is all
Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!

You really ought to visit there if you've never been
It doesn't cost a penny, just come down and walk in
If you like boogie woogie rhythm, you will get a treat
Let the boogie woogie washerwoman give you a treat!
Scrub me mama with a boogie beat!
