"Grandma's Lye Soap"
Written by Johnny Standley and Art Thorsen


Do you remember Grandma's Lye Soap
Good for everything in the home
And the secret was in the scrubbing
It wouldn't suds, and wouldn't foam

Oh, let us sing right out (sing out!)
For Grandma's Lye Soap
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes
And for your hands
And for your face!

Little Therman, and Brother Herman
Had an aversion to washing their ears
Grandma scrubbed them with her lye soap
And they haven't heard a word in years!

Oh, let us sing right out (sing out!)
For Grandma's Lye Soap
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes
And for your hands
And for your face!

Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley
Suffered from ulcers, I understand
She swallowed a cake of Grandma's Lye Soap
Has the cleanest ulcers in the land!

Oh, let us sing right out (sing out!)
For Grandma's Lye Soap
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes
And for your hands
And for your face!


Glad to be of help. Cheers.............Mel.
