Good Old Soak

Mmmm - to have a good old soak In bubbles in my bath But someone played a practical joke It isn’t funny, so do not laugh Tell me when this happened When did this occurrence occur One day I could climb into my bath But now I can’t even transfer Oh dear it’s so depressing I cannot bear to think That I will never bathe again It’s enough to turn a gal to drink I will climb back into my bath If it’s the last thing that I do But have a fireman standing by In case I fall - in case I die I luxuriate immersed in bubbles The water right up to my neck To savour and bask and forget all my troubles If I can’t get out, too bad, what the heck A life without a good old soak Is so depressing and is no joke So even if I’m here forever, stuck inside this bath I will die happy, clean and fresh, and ready for a laugh So I will savour and enjoy it The bubbles and the soap And when the water starts to cool Endeavour to get out - I hope!
