Splish Splash Lyrics

Splish Splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a saturday night, yeah
Rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright

Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor,
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door, and then
Splish, Splash! I jumped back in the bath
Well how was I to know there was a party going on

They was a-splishin' and a-splashin',
Reelin' with the feelin', moving and a-groovin,
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah!

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancing on my living room rug, yeah!
Flip flop, they was doing the bop
All the teens had the dancin bug

There was lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too!
A-well-a, Splish Splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin shoes on, yay...

I was a rollin' and a strollin', reelin' with the feelin',
Movin and a groovin', splishin' and a splashin, yeah!

Yes, I was a-splishin' and a splashin'
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Yeah, I was a-movin' and a-groovin'...woo!
We was a-reelin' with the feelin'..ha!
We was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Movin with the groovin'
Splish splash, yeah!

I was a-splishin' and a splashin' one time
I was a-splishin' and a splashin'..woo-woo!
I was a-movin' and a-groovin'.....

One comment?

I think this song is about a person who takes a bath to find a party was going on and then he joins said party. Deep deep meaning! It seems funny to me that a little kid doesn't sing this. How old was he when he was splishing and splashing in a bathtub? haha. I stopped taking baths when I was like 7. lol.

If you watch the movie about him He says he made this song in about 15 min and it had sexual hidden meanings. I don't know exactly how!

Not Valid

as I recall in those days only rich folks had a shower everyone else had a bathtub, my family of 5 took baths until the late 60s when we got a shower, I even remember taking baths in a big steel tub that was filled with water heated on the wood stove at my grandmas, she had no bathroom just outhouse and huge kitchen sink with pump for water

@Salmonnerdz - Catchy tune but has a touch of a sexy overtone lol. What kind of party could this be??!
