What's that smell?
What's that smell?
I think it’s the dog
"Eww gross!" I yell.
Grab a bucket and a hose
Grab a peg for your nose
We'll scrub this dog
Until she smells like a rose.
She tries to run and hide
To escape the bath inside
But she really needs a scrub
It smells like something died!
There's soap and bubbles everywhere
The hose is squirting in the air
The dog is nowhere to be seen
But at least I'm all clean.
