Coney Island washboard she would play,
You could hear her on the boardwalk every day
Soapsuds all around,
Little bubbles on the ground
Rub-a-dub-a-dub in her little tub all those tunes she found
The little thimbles on her fingers made the noise

She played Charleston on the laundry for the boys
She could rag a tune right through the knees of a brand new suit of easy breezes
Coney Island, washboard roundelay

[Instrumental Break]

Coney Island washboard she would play,

Rub-a-dub-a-dub in her little tub all those tunes she found
The little thimbles on her fingers made the noise

She played Charleston on the laundry for the boys
She could rag a tune right through the knees of a brand new suit of easy breezes
Coney Island, washboard roundelay
