This Is the Way

1
This is the way I wash my face,
Was my face, wash my face.
This is the way I wash my face,
So early in the morning.

2
This is the way I brush my teeth,
Brush my teeth, brush my teeth.
This is the way I brush my teeth,
So early in the morning.

3
This is the way I comb my hair,
Comb my hair, comb my hair.
This is the way I comb my hair,
So early in the morning.

4
This is the way I put on my clothes,
Put on my clothes, put on my clothes,
This is the way I put on my clothes,
So early in the morning.

5
This is the way we go to school,
Go to school, go to school.
This is the way we go to school,
So early in the morning.

A variation of “The Morning Song” by Asa Fitz, written in Boston in 1858. The melody is the same tune as “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush”, which is said to have originated in London in 1740.
