On her Coney Island washboard, she would play
She'd play it on the boardwalk every day
Soapsuds all around
Bubbles on the ground
Scrub-a-dub-a-dub in her little tub
Any tune she found
Oh, 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 pair of Levi jeans
Coney Island washboard 'round the bay
