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 [bad word] down and sit in.
 They sit around and knock each other out when they play,
 While the boogie woogie washerwoman washes all day.
 [bad word] ub-dub, that's just the way [bad word]  [bad word] ub-dub, that's just the way she [bad word]  [bad word] ub-dub, she wears out all her dubs,
 [bad word] and rubs her knuckles right down to the nubs!
 [bad word] ub-dub, that's how she kicks it off, [bad word] ub-dub, she keeps it nice and soft, [bad word] ub-dub, till someone hollers on,
 [bad word] me mama with a boogie beat!".

 You really ought to visit there if you've never been,
 It doesn't cost a penny, [bad word] down and walk in.
 If you like boogie woogie rhythm, you'll get a treat,
 Let the boogie woogie washerwoman give you the beat!
 [bad word] rub [bad word]  [bad word]  all day,
 She's [bad word]  a boogie woogir rhythm all day!
 [bad word]  rub, a-washin' all day,
 [bad word] me mama with a boogie beat!

 [bad word] me mama, [bad word] me clean,
 And let me dream till (scat). [bad word] ub-dub, that's the way she [bad word]  [bad word] rubs [bad word]  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,
 [bad word] me mama with a boogie beat!

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