The song describes a woman who would play music on a washboard on the boardwalk of Coney Island. She would find tunes to play with the thimbles on her fingers and bubbles and soapsuds all around. The song references her playing ragtime tunes that could go "right through the knees" of new underwear, as she played her washboard on the Coney Island shore.
