Gm        Fm      Gm             Fm
We've got to be clean, we've got to be clean
    Bb
aaa-aah

[Verse 1]
Cm
We wash our hands
Bb          Eb
Whenever we eat
Eb
And in the bath we wash our
D7        Bb
Ears, our elbows and feet.

[Chorus]
           Cm          Cm/B
We gotta be clean
           Cm/Bb       Cm/A
We gotta be clean
                 Cm/Ab        Bb
It's healthy and keen
            Eb
We gotta be clean
D7
Yes Sir!

[Verse 2]
Cm
We start each day
Bb               Eb
By brushing our teeth (Brush, Brush!)
Eb
And getting the plaque and stuff
D7            Bb
Off the smile underneath

[Chorus]
Cm          Cm/B
We gotta be clean
Cm/Bb       Cm/A
We floss in between
Cm/Ab        Bb
Like the string must be green
Eb
We gotta be clean

[Bridge]
Gm
Each day's a fight
         D7        Gm                     D7
With the forces of dirt (Dirt,Dirt,Dirt)
Gm
Battling the smudge
        D7            Gm                             D7
And the smear and the squirt (Squirt, Squirt, Squirt)
Bb7                                  B7           Bb7                                  B7
What do we do when our shirt is all covered with mustard? (Mustard, Mustard, Mustard)
Bb7
You may just wear it and wear it and wear it for weeks (No!) Not Guster...
Bb
We wash it,
B
Then we wear it

[Outro]
C#m
We may be sad
E          B
We may be beat
C#m
We may be cross or tired or mad but we'll always be neat
            C#m
We gotta be clean
                    C#m/C
Like all dishes we've seen
               C#m/B
Or a fresh nectarine
                       C#m/Bb
Or some laundry that's been
                    C#m/A
Through the washing machine
             E     F
We gotta be clean
            E
We gotta be aaaaaaaaaaaah!
