Lyrics

(Orchestra warms up, then start to cough)

Milligan: (Shhh's Orchestra, then whispers) "1,2,3,4"

(Short musical intro) 

Milligan: 
You gotta go oww
You gotta go oww
You gotta go ow, ha,ha ha, haaa, if you wanna go oww

You gotta go oww
You gotta go oww 
You gotta go ow, ha,ha ha, haww, if you wanna go oww

You say it every morning
say it every night
Say it under water
You'll feel alright

But you gotta go oww
(whistle)
You gotta go oww 
(whistle) 
You gotta go ow, ha,ha ha, haww, if you wanna go oww

Yeah!, You gotta go... (Milligan coughs, music stops, orchestra coughs. Milligan shh's orchestra, burps and raspberries are blown) 

(whispers) "1,2,3,4"
(Loud coughs, the more Shhhing)

Posh Voice: He's going to go ohhh

Posh Voice: He's going to go ohhh

Posh Voice: He's just been ohhhed
Milligan:

You gotta go oww
You gotta go ow, ha,ha ha, haa, if you wanna go oww

You say it every morning
