Lid down

Lyrics

(Intro) (Upbeat synth bassline kicks in, handclaps join the beat) Listen up close, it’s a lesson for all, From the tiniest kid to the big and the tall! You’re never too old to learn something new, Especially about what happens after a number two! (Verse 1) You think you’re all done, you stand up with pride, But there’s a microscopic warzone brewing inside! When you push down that handle with the lid open wide, You’re launching a monster you just cannot hide! It’s a toilet plume explosion, a germ atom bomb, Shooting six feet in the air, keeping nobody calm! (Chorus) So put the lid down before you flush! Don't be in a hurry, there’s no need to rush! Whatever you do in that porcelain bowl, Dropping the cover is the ultimate goal! Put the lid down, put the lid down, Save every toothbrush in this town! (Verse 2) Let’s talk about statistics, let’s talk about facts, 'Cause science has watched how that toilet reacts! Thousands of droplets of aerosol spray, Flying out the bowl, landing right where you lay! It gets on your hairbrush, it gets on your combs, It coats every surface of our happy homes! C-diff and E. coli are floating around, Landing on your toothbrush if the lid isn't down! (Eww, gross!) (Chorus) So put the lid down before you flush! Don't be in a hurry, there’s no need to rush! Whatever you do in that porcelain bowl, Dropping the cover is the ultimate goal! Put the lid down, put the lid down, Save every toothbrush in this town! (Bridge) Now some of you remember from the days of old, A little piece of advice that you used to be told: "If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down." Well, forget that rule, there’s a new one in town! Leaving it to sit? Oh, that’s nasty and crude, Get with the times, that’s just dirty and rude! Bacteria multiplies every minute it stays, We’re flushing it all, we are changing our ways! (Guitar / Synth Solo - super high energy, keeping that upbeat rhythm moving) (Verse 3) It takes two seconds, a habit so small, To protect your whole bathroom, the floor and the wall. You’re never too old to fix a mistake, Think of the clean, healthy choices you make! No matter the business, the small or the big, Don't let those invisible germs dance a jig! (Chorus) So put the lid down before you flush! Don't be in a hurry, there’s no need to rush! Whatever you do in that porcelain bowl, Dropping the cover is the ultimate goal! Put the lid down, put the lid down, Save every toothbrush in this town! (Outro) Yeah, drop that lid! Before you push the handle! Save the combs, save the brushes, save the soap! You’re never too old to learn. Put it down, flush it right, and keep it clean! (Big final synth hit and a toilet flush sound effect with the lid closed—thud, whoosh!)
