💩 (Song: Mouthful of fibre)
(MARY PLOPPINS)
Allow me to explain.
For every excretion to reach its completion,
Some bulk must be added.
Your poop must be padded,
And fibre does the trick to make your visits quick.
(FATHER)
Are you selling something?
(MARY PLOPPINS)
You see a mouthful off fibre helps the sausages come out.
The sausages come out.
The sausages come out.
Yes, a mouthful of fibre
Helps the sausages come out.
Then you wipe and flush away.
🚽 (Song: Super-smelly-bubble-biscuits)
(MARY PLOPPINS)
Super-smelly-bubble-biscuits
Blowing-out-your-bum-hole.
Show your bowel is working well and soon you'll need some bog roll.
If you smell one wafting past you,
Well done to the whole world.
Super-smelly-bubble-biscuits
Blowing-out-your-bum-hole.
Bum-widdle-bum-widdle-bum-widdle-poo.
Bum-widdle-bum-widdle-bum-widdle-poo.
(FATHER)
Stop!
🧻 (Song: Squirt’s Song)
(SQUIRT)
Chiv chiv along. Chiv chiv along.
Chiv chiv chi-vee.
Your muscles will chivvy your plops till they’re free.
Chiv chiv along. Chiv chiv along.
Chiv chiv cha-roo.
A push here and there and it's goodbye to poo.
🚾 (Song: Let’s go to the bog)

Let’s go to the bog.
We’ll all drop a log.
Let’s go to the bog
And do our business.
(NARRATOR) Yes, drop a couple of kids off at the cinema this summer for Mary Ploppins, the musical.
(EVERYONE)
Oh, let’s all go to the bog.
(NARRATOR) It's bound to make a splash.
