Soap Free
Take a bath
Brush your teeth
Scrub behind those ears

Wash your face
and your hair
It's all a kid ever hears

Just one day
I would like to know
just how it would be
If my ears were dirty
my teeth weren't brushed
and my body was soap free

Would I itch?
Would I smell?
Would my friends even talk to me?
I think I'll go
to school like that
and that way I will see
What's that smell?
Oh my you stink!
Is all that I did hear

They held their noses
and walked away
my friends would not come near
I washed my face
and brushed my teeth
before the last school bell
I had to do it!
I wanted to do it!
Even I couldn't stand the smell!
