Splish Splash
Barbra Streisand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Splish splash, I was takin' a bath 'long about a Saturday night
A rub dub, just relaxing in the tub, thinkin' everything was all right
Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I opened the door
And then a splish splash, I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know there was a party going on?

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang dancin' on my livin' room rug (yeah)
Flip flop, they were doin' the bop, all the teens had the dancin' bug
There was Lollipop with Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was a even there too
A well a splish splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancing shoes on

I was a splishin' and a splashin', I was rollin' and a strollin'
I was a movin' and a groovin', I was a reelin' with the feelin'

I was a splishin' and a splashin', I was rollin' and a strollin'
I was a movin' and a groovin', I was a reelin' with the feelin'





I was a splishin' and a splashin', I was rollin' and a strollin'

Overall Meaning

Barbra Streisand's song "Splish Splash" is a fun and energetic tune that describes the unexpected turn of events during a Saturday night bath. The song starts off with Barbra enjoying herself in a bath, feeling relaxed and taking her time. She steps out of the tub and wraps herself in a towel. Suddenly, she hears a party going on and jumps back into the bath, realizing that she would not want to miss out.


As she steps out again and goes into her living room, she finds her whole gang dancing on her rug, enjoying themselves with bopping and the dancin' bug. The lyrics mention how Peggy Sue and Lollipop are present, and even good golly Miss Molly! Barbra gets so excited that she even forgets about her bath and puts on her dancing shoes. The next few verses describe her joyfully splashing and rolling around as she dances with her friends.
