A Little Bit Of Soap

I love oldies. Especially ones with catchy riffs. Yes yes, I’m all about riffs. This song was sung by The Jarmels in 1961. I’ve only heard of it through my uncle, a couple of months ago! It’s about lost love and relationship breakups, with a soul panache.

Lent has already started. As usual, having given up meat, alcohol and chocolate, for 40 days until Easter (in April). No, I’m not pious (I believe that religion are created to put fear in men, and to give people hope). It’s more of a habit I started some 10 years ago, in a bid to detoxify my body.

Jarmels - A Little Bit Of Soap

A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face,
A little bit of soap will never, never never ever erase,
The pain in my heart, and my eyes,
As I go through the lonely years,
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears.

A little bit of soap will wash away your powder from my chin,
A little bit of soap will never, never never ever begin,
To take away the hurt that I feel,
As I go through the lonely years,
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears.

Have you heard when love begins to die,
And he isn’t one to cry,
Night and day.
Like a bird, you left the robin’s nest,
And you’re just like all the rest,
You flew away.

Ooh a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually,
A little bit of soap will never wash away the memory,
Of your name, in the night,
That I call through the lonely years,
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears.

I’ll never lose the memory of your name,
In the night, that I call through the lonely years,
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears,
A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears,
Mmmm it’s never never never never gonna wash away my tears,
Mmmm never wash away my tears.
