lyrics

Washboard Jack laid his washboard flat,
And he ate his dinner with a spoon.
A plate of spaghetti and then some jelly, piled high as the moon!
When he was done he smacked his tum and music he would he would sing.
Oh ol’ Jack could sing most anything.

“What kind of things did he sing about, Amelia?”
“You wanna know?”
“Yea!”
“Well, he’d sing,”

My washboard is for ringin’ out! (My washboard is for ringin’ out!)
Not just dirty laundry (Not just dirty laundry)
My washboard is for piggin’ out (My washboard is for piggin’ out)
Not just when you’re hungry (Not just when you’re hungry)

Hear the washboard rhythm!
Can you do it with him?
On the count of three-ee-ee
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, GO!

Washboard Jack had a friend named Bill,
And the two would sit on the windowsill.
Eating pie and chicken fried right off the barbeque.grill.
When they were done they’d chew some tums, put a toothpick in their mouth.
Then they’d play some blues from way down south.

“What kind of things did they sing about, Amelia?”
“You wanna know?”
“Yea!”
“Well, he’d sing,”

My washboard is for ringin’ out! (My washboard is for ringin’ out!)
Not just dirty laundry (Not just dirty laundry)
My washboard is for piggin’ out (My washboard is for piggin’ out)
Not just when you’re hungry (Not just when you’re hungry)

Hear his washboard rhythm!
Can you do it with him?
On the count of three-ee-ee
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, GO!
