The Creature From The Tub - Andrew Gold

The trick or treating was a big success

You ate some candy and now you’re a mess

Then Mommy says «Okay, that’s quite enough,

Now it’s time to get into the tub!»

(Oh man, do I have to?)

You take your Halloween costume off

Dip your big toe in, is it warm enough?

Look in the water, something bubbles up Could it be the creature from the tub?

Clammy and slimy, gooey, yucky, grimy

Icky and sticky, hope it doesn’t lick me Wobbly, runny, «Mommy, it’s not funny»

Watch out for the creature from the tub!

Maybe it slithered up the open drain

And now it’s hiding 'neath my rubber ducky

You say it’s nothing, but I hear blub, blub

Watch out for the creature from the tub!

(You okay in there? Yeah, I’m okay!)

It must have tentacles like jellyfish

With one big eye and squishy lips

(Mommy!)

It likes to swirl around, while Mommy scrubs

Watch out for the creature from the tub!

(There's something yucky in here!)

Clammy and slimy, gooey, yucky, grimy

Icky and sticky, hope it doesn’t lick me Wobbly, runny, «Mommy, it’s not funny»

Watch out for the creature from the tub!

(Oh my!)

Now in these wet and murky suds I float

Not sure I’m happy here at all, oh no Yikes, it’s attached itself to Mommy’s hands

Then I hear her say, «I found the soap!»

Clammy and slimy, gooey, yucky, grimy

Icky and sticky, hope it doesn’t lick me Wobbly, runny, «Mommy, it’s not funny»

Watch out for the creature from the tub!

(There's something yucky in here!)
