Each time you're down
Rolling round on the ground
And you're covered in grime
She comes around

Just what makes your little old aunt
Think that you should be spic-and-span
Everyone knows an aunt can't
Treat a nephew like that

But she's got lye soap
She's got lye soap
She's got lye in your eye makes you cry soap
So when you're playing in the mud
Let me tell you, bud
Just beware of that aunt
She sees dirt and she will clean you up fast
She sees dirt and goes off like a bomb blast
She sees dirt and says this ain't gonna last

Back as a kid
When the things that you did
Made you often unclean
They'd flip their lid

Once there was a really old gram
Saw her grandson spilling some jam
She hollered out "well damn, Sam -
You're all covered in jam"

So she got lye soap
She got lye soap
She got lye in your eye makes you cry soap
So if you are a messy lad
And the mess is bad
Just remember that gram
Dirty kids are not a part of her plan
Dirty kids, well she just isn't a fan
Dirty kids do not belong in her clan

It isn't easy being young
You're just having fun
Then they fill up the tub
Then they say it's time you got a good scrub
Then they dunk you under just like a sub
Then they say to take the soap and just rub

Lye soap!
