Ready for the bath? Let’s splash, splash, splash!	Bereit fürs Bad? Lass uns planschen, planschen, planschen!
Wasser! Wasser! Here comes a little splash.
What do we need? The soap, the soap!	Was brauchen wir? Die Seife, die Seife!
Seife! Seife! Bubbles start to float.
Water, Wasser, say it with me!
Soap, Seife, easy as can be!
Bubbles, Seifenblasen, pop-pop-pop!

Where’s your towel? It’s waiting right here.	Wo ist dein Handtuch? Es wartet genau hier.
