I Gotta Be Clean

Sesame Street

5

(He's got to be clean

He's got to be clean, ahhhh!)

I wash my hands whenever I eat

And in the bath I wash my ears,

My elbows and feet

I gotta to be clean!

I gotta be clean!

It's healthy and keen!

I gotta be clean!

Yes sir!

I start each day

By brushing my teeth (brush, brush)

Gettin' the plaque and stuff off

The smile underneath

I gotta be clean (clean)

And I floss in between (tween)

Like a tree must be green (green)

I gotta be clean (he's got to be clean!)

Each day's a fight

With the forces of dirt (dirt, dirt, dirt)

Battling the smudge

And the smear and the squirt (squirt, squirt, squirt)

What do I do when spaghetti's all over my shirt? (shirt, shirt, shirt)

Huh?!

(Does he just wear it and wear it and wear it for weeks?)

No!

(Not Bert)

I wash it, THEN I wear it!

I may be sad

I may be beat

I may be cross or tired or mad

But I'll always be neat

I gotta be clean (he's got to be clean)

Like all pigeons I've seen

Or a fresh nectarine

Or some laundry's that's been

Through a washing machine

I gotta be clean!

Hey! Who took the soap?
