BATH - TOWEL SONG

After my bath,

I try, try, try

To wipe my skin

Till it's dry, dry, dry

Hands to dry

And fingers and toes,

And two wet legs

And a shiny nose.

But I think how much

Less time I'd take

If I were a dog

And could shake, shake shake....Denny

A person who signed their name "Peek-a-boo" wrote Denny a letter on some very cute stationary and wrote about measles coming to their town as well as the carnival.
