Splish Splash Splosh!

Babies in the bath do it
puddles on the path do it
grannies for a laugh do it

SPLISH! SPLASH! SPLOSH!

Dirty welly boots do it
dainty little shoes do it
drippy doggies too do it

SPLISH! SPLASH! SPLOSH!

Waterfalls and waves do it
giant killer whales do it
little fishes’ tales do it

SPLISH! SPLASH! SPLOSH!

Buses rushing past do it
rivers flowing fast do it
raindrops fall at last do it

SPLISH! SPLASH! SPLOSH!

Swimmers in the pool do it
penguins in the zoo do it
dolphins in the blue do it

SPLISH! SPLASH! SPLOSH!

In the summer sun do it
do it as it’s fun do it
come on everyone do it
