Oh, what'd come out on a Saturday night? 
        D   G
The old tin bath 

Put in the kitchen right under the light 
        D   G
The old tin bath 
     C                       D
We'd fill every kettle, we'd fill every pot 
     C                 D
We'd boil 'em up until scalding hot 
     C                     D
Then where did we pour the boiling lot? 
           D   G
In the old tin bath

VERSE 2
********

Kitchen awash with water and steam 
            D   G
And the old tin bath 

You'd dip in a toe, and you'd give out a scream 
           D   G
In the old tin bath 
C                   D
Kid's go first then Dad'd sit tight 
C                     D
Mother went last, she said it's alright 
         C                        D
Then she emptied it, polished it, made it a sight 
        D   G
The old tin bath

CHORUS
*******
     Em                  C
When Mother got out, the water was cold 
       D       G
In the old tin bath 
    Em                    C
She longed for the day we finally sold 
    D
The old tin bath 
    G                Em
She nagged away from night till noon 
      Am                   D
For a plumbed in bath in a separate room 
    G                   Em
And soon there came the day of doom 
        A       D
For the old tin bath 

Em  C  D  G  Em  C  D    G
Em  Am  D  G  Em  A  D

          G
When they carried it out we cheered and clapped 
        D   G
The old tin bath 

'Cause we had a new room all tiled and tapped 
            D   G
Not the old tin bath 
       C               D
With a gleaming tub as big as a pool 
     C                     D
With cold and hot, well it made you drool 
       C                         D
And we splashed and scrubbed and played the fool 
        G D  E7
We were hydro paths 
        C   D   G
Goodbye old tin bath (the old tin bath)
