Bathtub Blues Lyrics

Greg Brown Bathtub Blues

I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
Gotta take a bath every night.
I wash my nose, scrub my toes,
Oh-oh Mama, forgot to take off my clothes.
Now I'm swish-swish-swishin',
Splash, splash, splashin',
Goosh, goosh, gooshin',
Slipping and a-sliding,
Running down the hallway-
My Mama's coming after me
Papa's coming after me
The dog is coming after me
I'm afraid they're going to catch me
Ob boy, am I in trouble- down the hall I go
I fell asleep. I fell asleep.
I was lying in the bathtub and I fell asleep.
Such a nice warm bathtub, I fell asleep.
Such a nice warm bathtub, I fell ...
When I woke up in the morning
I had turned into to a duck
All the kids at school said "Oh, what a fool!
He fell asleep in the bathtub!
He turned into a duck!"
Yea, but I just laughed and then I flew away.
I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
I get so dirty,
Gotta take a bath every night.
