Soap and Water

Mommy says I gotta sit in the bathtub And wash my face with a lotta soap and water. But the dirt don’t come off no matter how hard I rub. So, I just make bubbles while I wait for my father. He’ll know whadda do, ‘cause he’s a really smart guy. When I grow up, I wanna be just like him. But when he gets dirty like me, I wanna know why After his bath, he looks the same as he did goin’ in. I bet it’s ‘cause he don’t use enough soap and water. That’s what happens when you’re always in a hurry. Mommy should send Daddy to bed with no supper. That’s what happens to me when I come downstairs dirty.
