lyrics

I turn both the taps on to full and adjust the water temperature with the lever on top of the taps. I take off my t-shirt and shorts and step into the bath. The first thing I do is pick up the old-fashioned, telephone style showerhead and rinse my hair. I then put some shampoo on my left hand and rub it into my scalp with both. I immediately wash this out and put some conditioner onto my left hand and then rub it into my hair with both. I leave thIs to work its magic and in the meantime squIrt between 5-8 squirts of shower gel onto my left hand and step away from the water to work up a lather in this order - chest, shoulders, pits, belly, arms, cock & balls, thighs & calves. At this point I move further down the bath so that I can see if I am fatter or thinner than I remember from the day before. I have to do this before the mirror steams up. I then return to the tap end of the bath, pick up the showerhead and wash off the shower gel. I then do a daring reach across to the sink, hold the sink with my left hand and squirt some liquid soap onto my right hand. I then push myself back and balance myself in the bath and wash my hands. Then I squirt 3 foaming tea tree and witch hazel squirts of facewash onto my left hand rub it between the 2 and apply to my face. I rinse off the facewash & conditioner at the same time. I then squat in the bath and shower my arse clean. Sometimes even though I've finished I keep rInsing myself with hot water as I l like the feel of it and also think back to see if I’ve missed anything and feel a bit disappointed that I've run out of things to wash. Sometimes I start to dry myself and realise I've forgotten to rinse the conditioner out my hair and have to turn the taps back on. This is a drag as it means that when I dry myself the second time the towel is not only already wet but the water won’t’ve had time to have dripped from my head so it will be even wetter. If I remember, which I rarely do, I put the towel on the radiator before I shower so that it's warm when I dry myself.

I stand in the bath and work down. First my hair. Sometimes I dry it thoroughly, sometimes just I dry it off a bit so it's not too drippy and then return to it later. I then move to my arms, working from shoulder to hand, left arm 1st then the right one. I then pat my chest and belly. I rest my left foot on the side of the bath and towel my left leg then the right one. I don't dry my toes. I pull out the towel in front of me with both hands (landscape not portrait) and flip it over my head so it's like a cape over my shoulders. I then rub it from side to side, shoulders to back to bum. I then step out of the bath onto my t shirt and shorts and curl the t-shirt up with my toes to dry them. I step off the t shirt and pick it up and us it to dry my pits and crotch so as not to make the towel as smelly as I imagine it could become if I dried my crevices with it. i then wrap the towel around my waist and and tuck the right end in front of me either above or below my belly button depending on how fat I feel.
