- Verse:
- Down by the beach lived
the sweetest little peach,
- And I must say she just
had the cutest way,
- Playing a chord upon a washboard.
- The folks would gather rown',
from ev'rywhere in town, just to hear her play.
-
- Chorus:
- On her Coney Island washboard
she would play,
- You could hear her on the
boardwalk ev'ry day.
- Soapsuds all around, Bubbles
on the ground,
- Rub-a-dub-a-dub in her little
tub, All her tunes she found.
- Thimbles on her fingers
made the noise,
- She played "Charleston"
with the laundry for the boys.
- She could rag a tune right
thru' the knees of your brand new silk B. V. D.'s,
- With her Coney Island washboard
roundelay.
