VERSE 1
********
Oh, Gwhat'd come out on a Saturday night? 
The old Dtin Gbath 
Put in the kitchen right under the light 
The old Dtin Gbath 
We'd Cfill every kettle, we'd Dfill every pot 
We'd Cboil 'em up until Dscalding hot 
Then Cwhere did we pour the Dboiling lot? 
In the old Dtin Gbath 
-----------------------
VERSE 2
********
Kitchen awash with water and steam 
And the old Dtin Gbath 
You'd dip in a toe, and you'd give out a scream 
In the old Dtin Gbath 
CKid's go first then DDad'd sit tight 
CMother went last, she Dsaid it's alright 
Then she Cemptied it, polished it, Dmade it a sight 
The old Dtin Gbath 
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
When EmMother got out, the Cwater was cold 
In the Dold tin Gbath 
She Emlonged for the day we Cfinally sold 
The Dold tin bath 
She Gnagged away from Emnight till noon 
For a Amplumbed in bath in a Dseparate room 
And Gsoon there came the Emday of doom 
For the Aold tin Dbath 
Em  C  D  G  Em  C  D    G
Em  Am  D  G  Em  A  D
-----------------------
VERSE 3
********
When they Gcarried it out we cheered and clapped 
The old Dtin Gbath 
'Cause we had a new room all tiled and tapped 
Not the old Dtin Gbath 
With a Cgleaming tub as Dbig as a pool 
With Ccold and hot, well it Dmade you drool 
And we Csplashed and scrubbed and Dplayed the fool 
We were GhyDdro E7paths 
Goodbye Cold Dtin Gbath (the old tin bath)
