While reflecting about fun songs of the past, Curtis and Doris Willoughby and I remembered a romping stomping tune about a very reliable item, that has many uses. And lo and behold, at Ace Hardware, we came across this item, complete with certificate of authentication for its many uses in daily life. And this wonder product is, none other then Grandma’s Lie Soap!! Useful for all kinds of cleansing needs round the house and on a person. And remember: the secret is in the scrubbing!! Useful for all kinds of things; maybe washing away mega tears from broken heart, or, scrubbing ears to cure hearing loss!! But, as you sing the song, it does mention scrubbing ears maybe if you scrub differently, the hearing loss will go away!! (grin) And now let us stand and sing about Grandma’s Lie Soap as follows:
You remember Grandma’s lie soap,
Good for everything in the home.
And the secret was in the scrubbing;
It wouldn’t suds, it wouldn’t foam.
(Chorus)
Let us all sing of Grandma’s lie soap,
For everything all over the place:
The pots and pans, the dirty dishes,
And for your hands, and for your face.
Little Herman, and brother Thurman
Had an aversion to washing their ears.
Grandma scrubbed them with the lyesoap,
And they haven’t heard a word in years!
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!
(Chorus)and not being able to hear for years. But again,
Aah you see, this is where I really need to get my act together and enhance this to the multi media bla bla blogg, so we can have voice files present so we can sing sing sing!! Yes, well. Let’s see. In the be kind song, there is the middle stars and stripes tune verse, which in this case goes, be kind to the monster men… the monster men; Be kind to the perple people eater… Perple people eater!! But maybe I’ll have to sing it for better effect, as it sure doesn’t convey well as I wrote this now (smile)
Yes. That version is on the 1963 Tom Glazer On Top Of Spaghetti sing along album.
