The Lyrics
My mother, bless her heart
Washed me, every part
When I was a lad,
Cleanest skin, I had
Rubbed red like a shad..
I thought someday I'd find
I would grow up blind
My eyes burned like fire,
Moms don't realize..
Soap gets in your eyes..
Where's the towel at?
Tons of tears would come
Looked like I was crying hard..
She would say,
Put those tears away
"Mom I am trying hard.."
Now,
When I bathe my child
I use soap that's mild,
Gentleness applies
Watching suds don't rise,
So no soap's in his eyes...
Soap gets in your eyes..
Soap gets in your eyes..
Washed me, every part
When I was a lad,
Cleanest skin, I had
Rubbed red like a shad..
I thought someday I'd find
I would grow up blind
My eyes burned like fire,
Moms don't realize..
Soap gets in your eyes..
Where's the towel at?
Tons of tears would come
Looked like I was crying hard..
She would say,
Put those tears away
"Mom I am trying hard.."
Now,
When I bathe my child
I use soap that's mild,
Gentleness applies
Watching suds don't rise,
So no soap's in his eyes...
Soap gets in your eyes..
Soap gets in your eyes..

great concept.....bubbled over with fun
5 bars of Ivory for you!
I enjoyed this parody very much, and I always got soap in my eyes as a child during baths. Nowadays, I frequently get shampoo and conditioner in my eyes when washing my hair, and I often get car-wash soap and soap-based garden chemicals in my eyes too. I'm lucky I haven't gone blind by now! Here are some more 5s.
This OS gets soap in my eyes as well. Even tearless shampoo made my eyes sting as a child. I can relate to Andria's situation very well. Here's 555 bubbles floating over you. Don't let those get in your eyes!
Thanks, to alvin, Tim, Andria, and Christie
Just be more careful and rinse with cold water -555.
At the risk of sounding like a wimp, I have to admit that I still use baby shampoo when I shower - beats not being able to see for a couple hours afterward...Great title switch and parody...555!!!
Brings back memories of those big blocks of carbolic soap
Thanks, 2Eagle...Leo...baby shampoo...good idea...and thanks, Andy...I know what you mean
Don't usually like soap operas, but this was an exception :-) clever twist on a classic. 555
Soap operas, heh, heh, like that...thanks TT
Nice to see a clean parody every now and then.
Thanks, John
Sir L'Air de Farce, this is cute & does tell a tale of squeaky clean kids, always the best way to be!
Thank you, Little Cup
. . . may I remind you, Sir L'Air . . . . No little Cups here, Sir ! Lady ~B~ only, sir !
Lol...what's in a name?
