Scrub Scrub Song Lyrics
First, you pick up the apparel and you stick it in the barrel
Scrub, scrub
Then you take it to the mangle and you turn the giant handle
Scrub, scrub
Then it's hung up really high until it's nearly dry
Scrub, scrub
But when we sing this song, the day don't seem so long
Scrub, scrub
It's still long, though
Gotta press out all the creases from the dresses and chimneyses
Rub, rub
Gotta fold 'em like they told us or they'll scold us and withhold our
Grub, grub
We all signed the dotted line so we've gotta do our time
Scrub, scrub (Scrub, scrub)
And if you don't agree, see Clause 5
Section 7A, Paragraph 22
Part D, which says
Scrub, scrub
Scrub, scrub
Scrub, scrub
Scrub, scrub

"Scrub Scrub" by the Wonka cast is a song that vividly portrays the monnotonous and laborious nature of work, specifically in a context that seems to be a laundry or garment cleaning setting. The lyrics methodically detail the process of cleaning clothes, from picking up the apparel, sticking it in a barrel, turning a mangle, hanging items to dry, and pressing out creases. The repetitive use of "Scrub, scrub" and "Rub, rub" throughout the song not only mimics the physical repetition of the tasks but also emphasizes the tedium and unending nature of the work.
The song’s tone suggests a lack of ethusiasm and a sense of resignation among the workers. This is further illustrated by the line "But when we sing this song, the day don't seem so long," indicating that the workers use singing as a coping mechanism to endure the long, dreary hours. However, the immediate follow-up, "It's still long, though," is a stark reminder that the respite provided by singing is minimal and does not fundamentally change the nature of their labor.
The mention of folding clothes exactly as instructed, under the threat of being scolded or having food withheld ("Grub, grub"), paints a picture of a strict, possibly oppressive work environment. The workers are bound by a contract, as suggested by the line "We all signed the dotted line so we've gotta do our time," indicating a sense of obligation or even entrapment.
The reference to a specific clause in the contract ("Clause 5, Section 7A, Paragraph 22, Part D") adds a layer of bureaucracy and legalism to their work situation, further illustrating the workers' lack of agency and freedom.
Overall, "Scrub Scrub" is a poignant commentary on the drudgery of labor, the repetitive nature of certain jobs, and the coping mechanisms people use to endure tedious work. It reflects on the human condition within structured and possibly oppressive work environments, where individuals are reduced to mere cogs in a larger machine.
