The Mulberry Bush Lyrics
CHORUS
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush.
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
on a cold and frosty morning.
This is the way we wash our face,
wash our face, wash our face.
This is the way we wash our face,
on a cold and frosty morning.
CHORUS
This is the way we comb our hair, we comb our hair, we comb our hair.
This is the way we comb our hair,
on a cold and frosty morning.
CHORUS
This is the way we brush our teeth, brush our teeth, brush our teeth.
This is the way we brush our teeth,
on a cold and frosty morning.
CHORUS
This is the way we put on our clothes, put on our clothes, put on our clothes.
This is the way we put on our clothes
on a cold and frosty morning.
