Greg Brown Bathtub Blues Lyrics

Bathtub Blues Lyrics

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.
