Song lyricsIt ain't no disgrace Just pull up your sleeves And get up in place. Then scoop up the water And rub it on your face. An' go blud-dle-ud-dle Ud-dle-um-dum. Pick up the soap. Now don't try to to bluff Work up a lather An' when ya got enough. Get your hands full of water Ya snort an ya snuff. An' go blud-dle-ud-dle Ud-dle-um-dum. Ya douse an souse Ya rub and scrub. Ya sputter and splash all over the tub. You may be cold and wet when your done But ya gotta admit it's goot clean fun. So splash all ya like It ain't any trick As soon as your through You'll feel mighty slick. Bunch of old nanny goats Ya make me sick, goin'. An' go blud-dle-ud-dle Ud-dle-um-dum. Now scrub good an' hard It can't be denied That he'll look mighty cute As soon as he's dried. Well it's good for the soul And it's good for the hide. To go blud-dle-ud-dle Ud-dle-um-dum. |

NotesThe song is included in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Movie Songs. 15 ideas for the dwarfs' names and personalities were listed in the film's proposal. The list included all of the names finally included except Dopey and Doc (Dopey being the last to be developed). Some of the dwarfs were: Awful ("He steals and drinks and is very dirty"), Biggy-Wiggy or Biggo-Ego, Blabby, Deefy, Dirty, Gabby, Gaspy, Gloomy, Hoppy-Jumpy, Hotsy, Jaunty, Nifty, and Shifty. Sneezy was a last-minute replacement for Deefy. Peanuts creator Charles Schulz once wrote that he had heard that another name considered for a dwarf was "Snoopy" and that he was relieved that it had not been chosen as it would have probably prevented him from giving that name to his famous cartoon beagle. For the scene where the dwarfs are sent off to wash, animator Frank Thomas had Dopey do a hitch step to catch up to the others, as suggested in the storyboard. Walt Disney liked it so much he had the step added to other scenes - much to the chagrin of the other animators, who blamed Thomas for the extra work they had to do. Happy is the only one of the seven dwarfs who has white eyebrows. All the rest have black eyebrows. All of the Dwarfs have dark eye color except for Dopey. His are light blue.
