Baking Soda

(album: Earthwords & Music - 1967)

Well, hooray for baking soda ain't it neat
And cheers for national baking soda week
For folks that's young and folks that's old
Why carbonated soda will cure that cold

It cleans your teeth and prevents the flu
And you can use it in your car battery too
It puts out fire of fat or grease
Pass the baking soda please

Now if your biscuits, cakes or pies
Absolutely refuse to rise
Get the stuff that's always slick
That baking soda it does the trick

And if you're feeling far from placid
From an over excess of stomach acid
Just step right up and yell don't stammer
Get a big mess of that Arm & Hammer

And if you cannot clean your dentures
With any other commercial ventures
From Portland Maine to North Dakota
Smart folks dunk in baking soda

But beware your fun you botch
This ain't the kind you mix with scotch
