We're bound for the bathtub, we're bound to get wet
Away, Mommy, away, away!
We've got to scrubbed and then off to our beds
Mommy, we're bound away!

It's all day in the dirt and the grease and the sand
Away, Mommy, away, away!
A'sailing we'll go, it's goodbye to dry land
Mommy, we're bound away!

So haul off your clothes and hop into the tub
Away, Mommy, away, away!
Hold fast to that washcloth and give a good rub
Mommy, we're bound away!

I've got me toy boat and a squirt gun or two
Away, Mommy, away, away!
And a bottle of suds for each of the crew
Mommy, we're bound away!

The sailing is fine and the weather is clear
Away, Mommy, away, away!
Now look who comes in and starts scrubbing our hair
Mommy, please go away!

The tide it is running away down the drain
Away, Mommy, away, away!
The water's all sudsy and we are all clean
Mommy, we're bound away!

So pull down the sheets and make ready for bed
Away, Mommy, away, away!
It's anchors away now for this sleepy-head
Mommy, we're bound away!
