| Girls: | Soap for this and soap for that, |
| Men: | Soap that's round and soap that's flat, |
| All: | Soap that's thin, soap that's fat, Soap to wash the dog (or cat,) Soap to wash the dog and cat, Yes, soap to wash the dog and cat! When you want a cake of soap To finish off your toilet, We're the folks who boil it, With your needs to cope. Ev'rywhere we take the cake We always take the prizes, Hence the term arises: While there's life there's soap! |
