BIG RED BATH

Ben and Bella in the big red bath-
"Splash you!"
"Splash you!"
Splish! Splosh! Splash!
Bubbles in the bath.
Water on the floor.
"Hi there, kids! Can I come for a swim ?"
"Course you can, Dog. Just dive in!"
Dog dives in, front feet first.
Bubbles rise, bubbles burst!
Dog, Ben and Bella in the big red bath-
"Splash you!"
"Splash you!"
Splish! Splosh! Splash!
Bubbles in the bath.
Water on the floor.
But who's this roaring
at the door?
"Hi there, kids! Can I have a wash?"
Leap in, Lion. Splish and splosh!"
Lion leaps in and starts to scrub.
Bubbles rise-rub-a-dub-dub!
Lion and Dog , Ben and Bella in the bath-
"Splash you!"
"Slash you!"
Splish! Splosh! Splash!
Bubbles froth.
The waters rise.
Flip, flop, flap!
"Who's that?"
Ben cries.
"Hello, kids! Can I come for a paddle?"
"Course you can, Duck! Dibble and dabble!"
Duck dibble-dabbles at a quacking pace.
Bubbles fly all over the place!
Duck, Lion and Dog, Ben and Bella in the bath-
"Splash you!"
" Splash you!"
Splish! Splosh! Splash!
Water overflows!
Bubbles mount!
The bath is starting
to bob about!
Then...
Turtle hurtles in,
"Can I have a dip?"
Pursued by penguin,
"I want to flip!"
Giraffe races in,
"Make room for me.
I'm being followed!"
Who can it be?
IT'S Hippopotamus!
He slips on the floor!
He slides under the bath-
which goes
SLOOSH
through the door and...
... down the stairs-so very fast!
kangaroo wants a ride
but the bath shoots past!
But kanga's determined!
She takes a bound-
so the big red bath suddenly...
... leaves the GROUND!
It flies twice round the world,
over mountain and plain-
till a flock of flamingos...
...tows it home again!
Bubbles in the bath.
Water on the floor.
Who is THIS coming in the door?
"IT'S MUM!"
Rubba- dubba-giggle,
rubba- dubba-laugh.
"Let's tell Mum about
our big red bath!"
