My mom likes me clean, do ya' know what I mean?
And if you're like me, that means bath time
Well, I've found a way that can rescue the day
A better way of washing the dirt and grime.
Chorus:
I take my showers in the rain,
I do my washing in the downpour.
Just a bar of soap and me
And a towel at the backdoor.
You know the first thing I do, is I grab some shampoo
And I find me a place beneath the downspout.
The next thing you know, I'm all covered with soap
And I dance a little jig to clean my ears out. Chorus
You know the really best part is that I've got the whole yard
To run around in, much better than a small tub
Among the bushes and trees, shower wherever I please
And there's no cleanup to take care of when I'm all done. Chorus
Now my mom thinks it's great, says that she can relate
She did the same thing when she was just a young girl
Through the rain she would run for some good clean fun
And the feeling she'd helped create a clean world.
Now we both shower in the rain
We do our washing in the downpour
Just a bar of soap and we,
And two towels at the backdoor.
Yes we both shower in the rain
We do our washing in the downpour
Just a bar of soap and we,
And two towels at the backdoor.
