MONEY IN YOUR POCKET,

WHEN THERE AIN' NO HOLE IN THE WASHTUB.

SWEET AS HONEYSUCKLE

ON THE VINE, MA.

Together:

YOUR NAILS WON'T BREAK

AND YOUR TOES WON'T STUB,

YOU NEVER GET A FEVER

WHEN THERE AIN' NO HOLE IN THE WASHTUB.

IF YOU LOOK:

TO THE GOOD SIDE,

FALLING DOWN'S A FREE RIDE

SLIPPING AND A-SLIDING

IN THE MUD.

IF YOUR BACK IS HURTIN'

I CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN

I'LL BE THERE TO TREAT YOU

TO A SOOTHING BACK RUB.

Emmet:

WHEN THERE AIN' NO HOLE IN THE WASHTUB.

LUNCH WITH:

THE UPPER CRUST,

DINNER AT THE CLUB,

HIGH ON THE HOG:

WHEN THERE AIN' NO HOLE IN THE WASHTUB.

WATERMELON GARDEN,

BERRIES ON THE SHRUB,

COOKIES IN THE KITCHEN

WHEN THERE AIN' NO HOLE IN THE WASHTUB.

HI, EMMET.

LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT!

( Chuckling )

GOOD CATCH, WENDELL!

YEAH, THEY'RE

REALLY BITING TODAY!

( Splash! )

I'LL BE THERE TO TREAT YOU

TO A SOOTHING BACK RUB.

WHEN THERE AIN' NO HOLE IN THE WASHTUB.

THERE GO TWO OF THE NICEST FOLK

ON THE RIVER.

IF YOU LOOK:

TO THE GOOD SIDE,

FALLING DOWN'S A FREE RIDE

SLIPPING AND A-SLIDING

IN THE MUD.

THOUGH IT TWISTS

AND CONTORTS YOU,

THAT BARREL SUPPORTS YOU.

YOU CAN FEED:

AND CLOTHE YOURSELF

WITH A RUB-A-DUB-DUB

WHEN THERE AIN' NO HOLE IN THE WASHTUB.

AIN'T NO HOLE

IN THE WASHTUB.

AIN'T NO HOLE

IN THE WASHTUB.
