Freckle Bath

I'll tell you what I tried to do,
If you promise you won't laugh.
I tried to wash my freckles off
while I was in my bath.

I scrubbed and rubbed and rubbed and scrubbed
with my washcloth, soap and water.
I tried it with the water cold.
I tried with it much hotter.

But my freckles wouldn't budge an inch,
although I tried my best.
So I kept the freckles where they were
and washed away the rest.
