Mama oh mama, come wash my face
Wash my face, come wash face
Mama oh mama, come wash my face
Make it nice and clean-o
Daddy oh daddy, come fix my shoe
Fix my shoe, come fix my shoe
Daddy oh daddy, come fix my shoe
Polish it nice and clean-o
Sister oh sister, come bathe my back
Bathe my back, come bathe my back
Sister oh sister, come bathe my back
Make it nice and clean-o
Clean-o clean, yes clean-o clean
Clean-o clean, yes clean-o clean
Scrubity scrubity and rub-a-dub dubbity
Make me nice and clean-o
Brother oh brother, come wash my hair
Wash my hair, come wash my hair
Brother oh brother, come wash my hair
Make it nice and clean-o
Granny oh granny, come wash my feet
Wash my feet, and wash my feet
Granny oh granny, come wash my feet
Make them nice and clean-o
Sweetie oh sweetie, come smell-a me now
Smell-a me now, come smell-a me now
Sweetie oh sweetie, come smell-a me now
Don't I smell nice and clean-o
