Ring Around the Rosy

Scrubb and scrubb and wipe away
But you're back the next day

Thick and grimy even kind of slimy
Foamy and hairy really kind of scary!

Oh my aching back, we are under attack
Soap scum ring, cut me some slack

Nuclear power ships have been created
But tell me how the soap scum ring can be annihilated?
