Lyrics
Two sailors in the tub, we sail the seas,
Two mighty sailors, my brother and me,
In our shiny milk-white ship, we sail the ocean blue,
While waves descend upon the floor,
And we throw soap bombs against the door.
And my mother screams – “Aaah,”
And she calls for my dad, “Harrrry,”
And my daddy screams (“Uuh”) and says he is mad, “I’m mad.”
But didn’t you ever have a bath when you were little,
And you liked to laugh when you played in the tub with a yo ho ho,
Like me?
The ship overturns, we’re lost at sea,
We hang on the side, my brother and me,
In our shiny milk-white ship, we sail the ocean blue,
We call for help, but what do we get?
Mommy pulls the plug and she get’s all wet.
And then she screams, “Aaah,”
And she calls for my dad, “Harrrry.”
And my daddy screams, (“Uuh”) and he says he is mad, “I’m mad.”
But didn’t you ever have a bath when you were little,
And you liked to laugh when you played in the tub with a yo ho ho,
Like me?
We swab the deck, my brother and me,
Our sailing’s done, it’s bedtime you see,
In our shiny milk-white ship, we sail the ocean blue,
We’ll dream heroic tales come true,
Like my mom and dad used to do.
And my mother smiles, and she calls for my dad, “Harry!”
And my daddy smiles, and says he’s not mad, “I’m not mad.”
‘Cause they remember having a bath when they were little,
And they liked to laugh when they played in the tub with a yo ho ho,
And a rub a dub dub,
Like me, like me, like me.
An upbeat rock that engages the children’s fantasy and then the reality of their parent’s anger at the mess.
