{t:Singin' in the Bathtub}
{st:Michael H. Cleary, Herb Magidson, Ned Washington (1929), R. Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders (1978)}
{c:verse 1}
[F]Singing in the bathtub, [C#7]Happy once a-gain,
[C7]watching all my troubles go dripping down the [F]drain.
{c:verse 2}
[F]Singing through the soap suds, [C#7]life is full of hope
[C7]You can sing with feeling, while feeling for the [F]soap.
{soc}
Oh, a [A]ring a-round the [E7]bathtub, [G7]isn’t so nice to [C]see
But a [A]ring a-round the [E7]bathtub is a [G7]rain-bow to [C]me. [C7]
{eoc}
{c:verse 3}
[F]Reaching for a towel, [C#7]ready for a rub,
[C7]Everybody’s happy, when singing in the [F]tub.
{c:bridge}
[F]Why am I exc-i-ted? [C#7]Why am I so gay?
[C7]Why am I de-light-ed? Oh, [G7]what day [C7]is to-[F]day?
[F]Pardon my e-la-tion, [C#7]every-thing’s just right
[C7]I get in-spir-a-tion, [G7]every [C7]Saturday [F]night.
{c:verse 4}
I’m… [F]singing in the bathtub, [C#7]sitting all a-lone
[C7]Tearing out a tonsil, just like a bar-i-[F]tone.
{c:verse 5}
[F]Never take a shower, [C#7]it’s an awful pain.
[C7]Singing in the shower’s like singing in the [F]rain.
{soc}
Oh, there’s [A]dirt to be a-[E7]bolished, but [G7]don’t for-get one [C]thing
While the [A]body’s washed and [E7]polished, [G7]sing, brother, [C]sing! [C7]
{eoc}
{c:verse 6}
[F]You can yodel opera, [C#7]even while you scrub,
[C7]Everybody’s happy, when singing in the [F]tub.
{c:verse 7}
[F]La, la , la, la , la, la… [C#7]Happy as can be
[C7]Watching all the lather just gather ‘round on [F]me
{c:verse 8}
[F](whistle----------[C#7]-----)
[C7]I can even whistle and splash around the [F]place.
{c:verse 9}
[F]Playing with the bubbles, [C#7]while your ears you scrub
[C7]Really, I’m so happy, when singing in the [F]tub. [C#7]↓ [F]↓
