Why don't you learn to play Washboard
Why don't you learn to play Washboard
Why don't you learn to play Jug
And hush up your Mug
Guess you could call me a Loud-mouth
Talkin' talkin' talkin' away
Can't get a word in edgewise
And I don't have much to say
Managed to get me a girlfriend
I was talkin' talkin' at her one day
She finally stood up and said Bye-Bye
And she said as she walked away
She said she said
Why don't you learn to play Washboard
Why don't you learn to play Jug
Why don't you learn to play Washboard
And hush up your Mug
I was doin the best that I could
And I've always been perfectly good
I've always always always always always been perfectly good
I did make a few mistakes
Those decisions were the best I could make at the time
I've always always always always always been perfectly good
At the time there was more to learn
A few more pages to turn
I've always always always always always been perfectly good
There's no reason for me to feel bad
'bout me or the friends that I had
I've always always always always always been perfectly good
It's over, it's past. it's done. it's past. I made it, thus far. I won, thus far
It's over, it's past. it's done. it's past. I made it, thus far. I won, thus far
It's over, it's past. it's done. it's past. I made it, thus far
Why don't you learn to play Washboard
Why don't you learn to play Jug
Why don't you learn to play Washboard
And hush up your Mug
Why don't you learn to play Washboard
Why don't you learn to play Jug
Why don't you learn to play Washboard
And hush up your Mug
