Tune: 'If You're Happy and You Know It'

Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.
I would slippy and I'd slidey,
Over everybody's hidey.
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.

Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.
Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.
I would ooey and I'd gooey,
Under everybody's shoey.
Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.

Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.
Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.
I'd go down with a slurp,
and come up with a burp.
Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.

Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.
Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.
I would sit upon the trail,
And knock everyone on his tail.
Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.

Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.
Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.
I'd buzzy and I'd bitey,
Under everybody's nighty.
Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.

Oh, I wish I were a little squirty orange.
Oh, I wish I were a little squirty orange.
I'd go squirty, squirty, squirty,
Over everybody's shirty.
Oh, I wish I were a little squirty orange.


Oh, I wish I were a little foreign car.
Oh, I wish I were a little foreign car.
I'd go speedy, speedy, speedy
Over everybody's feety.
Oh, I wish I were a little foreign car.

Oh, I wish I were a fishy in the sea.
Oh, I wish I were a fishy in the sea.
Wouldn't I look cute
Without my swimming suit?
Oh, I wish I were a fishy in the sea.

Oh, I wish I were a little safety pin.
Oh, I wish I were a little safety pin.
Wouldn't it be fun
If I suddenly came undone?
Oh, I wish I were a little safety pin.

Oh, I wish I were a little band-aid strip.
Oh, I wish I were a little band-aid strip.
I'd stick to your hairs
And pull them out in pairs.
Oh, I wish I were a little band-aid strip.

Oh, I wish I were a little stinky skunk.
Oh, I wish I were a little stinky skunk.
I'd sit up in the trees
And perfume all the breeze.
Oh, I wish I were a little stinky skunk.

Oh, I wish I were a little sparrow bird.
Oh, I wish I were a little sparrow bird.
I'd sit up on the steeple
and dump on all the peeple.
Oh, I wish I were a little sparrow bird.

Oh, I wish I were a creepy scary ghost.
Oh, I wish I were a creepy scary ghost.
I'd give you such a scare
That you'd lose your underwear.
Oh, I wish I were a creepy scary ghost.
