F Bb F Bb No one didn't tell you as to roam the streets. F Bb F Bb But that's what happen when you rub-a-dubbing gets sweet. F Bb C7 C7 You're lock so tight you don't even know when it's morning. F Bb C7 C7 The music so right you don't even care about the dawning. Yea now.
F Bb C Bb How does it feel to have been on F Bb C Bb the ballroom floor? Or do you feel like you would a F Bb C Bb rock some more? For a strictly rub-a- F Bb C Bb dub for sure. And the dub and the waltz F Bb C C galop.
F Bb F Bb Said you skank till you weary but you've got to stay awake. F Bb F Bb When you waistline get dreary you couldn't give it a break. F Bb C7 C7 Put you round the ??? and you rub-a-dubbing. F Bb C7 C7 You heavy skanking and you daylight jamming.
F Bb F Bb Hey! No one didn't tell you as to roam the streets. F Bb F Bb But that's what happen when you rub-a-dubbing gets sweet. F Bb C7 C7 You're lock so tight you don't even know when it's morning. F Bb C7 C7 The music so right you don't even care about the dawning. Yea now.
