Cathy Fink Syncopated Washboard Rhythm Song lyrics

That Syncopated Washboard Rhythm Song
� 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.
