Shampoo 3 When I was little I too howled when the stuff got in my eyes This before Johnson & Johnson was. And though my mother cupped my brow With the soft of her hand And pointed to the spider in the corner of the bathroom ceiling The spider I was to watch Until the coast was clear I couldn't help myself, I looked And the soap was like daggers And I cried, how I cried One day I discovered You could live with the suds If you simply closed your eyes Until the foam was rinsed down Your cheeks and escaped down the drain But you had to be willing to do nothing I want to get word to babies everywhere Oh my stupid little friends Wear the blindfold and you will never weep
