From the recording High on the Hog
Lyrics
I went to the shower, what did I see
A bar of soap dangling, waiting for me
It don't slip away, it don't take a dive
With a rope around it, I'm squeaky alive
Grandma gave it Christmas, wrapped up in a bow
Said, Boy, you'll need this more than you know
I laughed at the time, now I must agree
It's the best invention in shower history
No more chasing, no more slide
That soapy bar can't run and hide
Soap on a rope
Best way to cope
No need to grope
It's got some scope
Don't let it slope
Stayin' with hope
Clean as a pope
Soap on a rope
Slippery fingers, they used to betray
I'd drop my bar halfway through the day
Now I just tug it, never a flop
That soapy buddy's tied up at the top
No more chasing, no more slide
That soapy bar can't run and hide
Soap on a rope
Slippery nope
Clings to the slope
Shines like a trope
Foamy kaleidoscope
Sudsy as soap
Bubbly grope
Soap on a rope
Slippery times are finally done
Showerin' safe is way more fun
Inventor of this whoever you are
You're the real shower superstar
Soap on a rope
Fresh as an oak
Gives me some hope
Foam in a cloak
Scrubbed with a lope
Squeaky folk
End of the soap
Soap on a rope
