[Georg Kreisler - It's Great to Lead an Antiseptic Life songtext lyrics]
Every morning when I wake
There are several precautions I take
First I get into a tub
Then I wash and then I scrub
Then I down my negligee
And I gargle and I spray
And I keep my teeth clean
With a can of gasoline
With a hose I get rid of the last bit of grit
And I spray the whole house
With a gallon of Flit
And when every corner is shiny and bright
I know that I've done what
Is healthy and right
It's great to lead an antiseptic life
No doubt about it found out about it
Since kissing carries germs I've gotten wise
And every girl I kiss, I pasteurize
It's great to lead an antiseptic life
There's lots I know now i take it slow now
Since dirt can often get into your glands
Before I take a bath I wash my hands
I never take chances on parties or dances
Regardless of season or clime
I don't go to plays or clubs or cafés
Because people there breathe all the time
It's great to lead an antiseptic life
I seek protection against infection
And when I die I'll say with my last breath:
"It's great to die an antiseptic death!"
How it pained me to discover
That I could not be a lover
Though the girl may be as lovely as they come
But when I'm filled with deep emotion
I pass girls a cleaning lotion
And I scrub'em of with Super Suds and Mum
I masked my frustration
For the sake of sanitation
And at night on my pillows
I don't count sheep – I count bacillas
It's great to have an antiseptic wife
For every hour we take a shower
And gargling is a habit that she loves
Whenever we hold hands we
Both wear rubber gloves
She uses Palmolive
Pepsodent and Lifebuoy by the score
Duz does everything, but she does more
She uses Listerine and Kolynos and
Lux to my delight
And her soul is Rinso white
She serves sterilized fricassees
And deodorized cheese
She broils the most hygienic steaks
And when it comes to making love
She's got what it takes
Of course kissing is wonderful
But being germ-free is better
So I won't let her!
There are several precautions I take

And I spray the whole house

And when every corner is shiny and bright
