Ready To Get Dirty

To the tune of “Anarchy in the UK” by the Sex Pistols
I jump in the bathtub and I get all wet
Put soap on my body, shampoo on my head
Get real clean then I rinse it away
Don’t have to shave but I shave anyway
Now I’m ready to get dirty again

Make sure the towel gets between my toes
Get wax from my ears and blow on my nose
Put lotion on my body & on my face
Powder up my pits and the other hairy place
Now I’m ready to get dirty again

I brush my teeth then I floss real good
Peroxide my mouth when there’s any blood
Clean all my nails and I trim ’em down
Put on new shorts even if they’re not brown
Now I’m ready to get dirty again

I’d like to play with your little boat some more
Put your face in my face, roll around on the floor
Let’s get all sweaty and swill some drinks
Then we’ll need another bath, now, whaddayuh think?
Well, I’m ready to get dirty againnnnn
