Title:  I wish I didn’t have to wash

Composer:  Joe Raposo ?

Lead vocals:  Stephen Gustafson

Scene:  Stephen taking a bath under protest.

[SG]  When the water starts to gush,

And I see that prickly brush,

I wish I didn’t have to wash.

I wish I didn’t have to wash.

Though I know I don’t smell fresh,

Still there’s goose bumps on my flesh

When my mom tells me to wash.

I wish I didn’t have to wash.

If I could have my wish,

The soap would stay right in its dish.

I’d rather take out all the trash

Than have to stay in here and splash, splash, splash.

Although I know it’s babyish

To wish that I could be a fish,

But then I wouldn’t have to wash.

I would never have to wash.

Bath time is so wishy-washy

When the soap gets squishy-squashy.

I wish I didn’t have to wash.

Oh, gosh, I wish I didn’t have to wash.
