Guster - We've Gotta Be Clean lyrics

They've got to be clean
They've got to be clean ah ah

We wash our hands whenever we eat
And in the bath we wash our ears
Our elbows and feet we gotta be clean
We gotta be clean it's healthy and keen
We gotta be clean (ah ah) yes sir!

We start each day by brushing our teeth
(Brush! Brush)
And getting the plaque and stuff
Off the smile underneath, neath
We gotta be clean, clean
We floss in between, tween
Like the tree must be green, green
We gotta be clean (They've got to be clean)

Each day's a fight with the forces of dirt
Dirt! Dirt! Dirt!
Battling the smudge and the
Smear and the squirt squirt! Squirt! Squirt!
What do we do when our shirt
Is all covered with mustard?
Mustard! Mustard! Mustard!
You may just wear it and wear
It and wear it for weeks no! Not Guster
We wash it, then we wear it

We may be sad, we may be beat
We may be cross or tired or
Mad but we'll always be neat
We gotta be clean (They've got to be clean)
Like all dishes we've seen
Or a fresh nectarine
Or some laundry that's been
Through the washing machine
We gotta be clean (They've got to be ah)
