Lyrics
If ya want-a be neat an’ ya want-a be clean
Here’s a break for you
Listen close while I explain
Exactly what to do
Chorus
Step up to the tub it ain’t no disgrace
Pull up your sleeve an’ get them in place
Scoop up the water an’ rub it on your face
An’ go bluddle-uddle-uddle-uddle umdum
Now pick up the soap an’ don’t try to bluff
Work up a lather an’ when ya’ got enough
With your mouth full of water
Ya’ snort an’ ya’ snuff
An’ go bluddle-uddle-uddle-uddle-umdum
Ya’ douse an’ ya’ souse ya’ rub an’ ya’ scrub
Ya’ sputter an’ splash all over the tub
Although you’re cold an’ wet when you’re done
Ya’ gotta admit that it’s good clean fun
So splash all ya’ like it can’t be denied
You’ll feel mighty slick as soon as you’re dried
For it’s good for the soul an’ good for the hide
T’ go bluddle-uddle-uddle-uddle-umdum
