Germ Free Adolescence

Your deodorant smells nice
I'd like to get to know you
But you're deep frozen like the ice
He's a germ free adolescent
Cleanliness is her obsession
Cleans her teeth ten times a day
Scrub away scrub away scrub away
The S.R. way...
You may get to touch her
If your gloves are sterilised
Rinse your mouth with
listerine Blow disinfectant in her eyes
He's a germ free adolescent
Cleanliness is her obsession
Cleans her teeth ten times a day
Scrub away scrub away scrub away
The S.R. way...
Her phobia is infection
She needs one to survive
It's her built-in protection
Without fear she'd give up and die
