Syncopated Washboard Rhythm Song

That Syncopated Washboard Rhythm Song

ï¿½ Marcy Marxer, 2 Spoons Music, ASCAP

1. That Syncopated Washboard Rhythm Song

Come on everybody tap along

First you scrub-a-dub

Then you tap and rub

You might have to yell

When you hear the bell

Ring out loud and long, OH!

Everybody scrub along and play

Tap that old time rhythm while you sway

I'm never in a quandary

When it's time to do the laundry

My syncopated washboard rhythm song

2. How I love to play my abs of steel

Some may even wonder if it's real

Hear it tick and tock

When you play the block

Sounds so good when you

Tap on wood

Play with zip and zeal, OH!

Everybody scrub along and play

Grab the soap and scrub your cares away

When it bubble-bubbles up

Then we'll double-double up

That syncopated washboard rhythm song

Rhythm don't be late

Please don't hesitate

While I scrub my wrinkled metal - wrinkled little metal plate

Now, let's accelerate. (Pause) 1-2-3-4

Repeat 1st verse FAST

You can play it smooth or jerky

It can be sublime or quirky

My syncopated washboard rhythm song

As my fingertips are flyin'

All the moms and dads are sighin'

That syncopated washboard rhythm song.
