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!
