In Goop Attire (Top) — In Goop Attire

I’ll make you a dress of a towel,

And trim it all over with soap,

With a sponge for a hat

And a wet one, at that!

And then you’ll be happy, I hope!

You may act like a Goop, if you please,

In garments constructed like these!

But now, while you’re dressed up so neatly,

Don’t wipe off your hands on your frock!

The smooching that lingers

When you wipe off your fingers,

Will give your dear mother a shock!

The result will be even more shocking,

If you wipe off your shoes on your stocking!
