Singin' in the Bathtub Songtext
von John Lithgow

It′s bathtime!
Hurry up now
Get in the tub
Get your shampoo
Get your soap
Get your rubber ducky and your toy boat
Let's make this fun

Singin′ in the bathtub
Sitting all alone
Tearing out a tonsil
Just like a baritone

Never take a shower
It's an awful pain
Singing in the shower
Is like singing in the rain

Oh, there's dirt to be abolished
But don′t forget one thing
While the body′s washed and polished
Sing, brother sing!


You can yodel opera
Even as you scrup (Ridi Pagliacci)}
Everybody's happy while singin′ in the tub

I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air

You can be Sinatra
Soakin′ as you croon (shoo-bee doo-bee doo)
Hitting all the high notes
Never out of tune

Singin' every number
From your favorite show (Oklahoma!)
Droppin′ down from forte
To pianissimo

Oh, a ring around the bathtub
Isn't so nice to see
But a ring around the bathtub
Is a rainbow to me

Reaching for a towel
Ready for a rub
Everybody's happy while singin′ in the tub


Singin′ in the tub
Singin' in the tub
Singin′ in the tub!
