[Bath Song] A children’s song that will make kids love bath time (11–20)
Coconut SoapFuranku・Reto
It’s said to be a song that’s popular worldwide as a way to learn the names of body parts.
Frank Leto is an American musician who has produced numerous songs for children.
One of his works is “Coconut Soap,” a song about washing various parts of the body with coconut soap.
Its gentle tempo is soothing.
It features many English words for body parts, making it perfect as-is for your child’s English study.
Song of Onsen PonYuusui
No matter how old you are, a bath always feels good.
I’m sure there are parents who want their children who dislike baths to understand their appeal.
As this song also mentions, one of a bath’s charms is the floating sensation when you sink into the hot water.
That bobbing, gently swaying feeling is a little mysterious and a lot of fun.
That kind of experience might resonate with kids who don’t like baths.
Try stretching out your legs or submerging your whole body—see if you can discover your own way to enjoy bath time.
Let’s go to the bathhouse!
This is a bath-time song that’s also great for Eurhythmics activities! It’s perfect for bathtime while communicating with your child.
Since it’s a call-and-response song, you can have your child sing and answer back, or wash their body and head in line with the lyrics.
Adults might be fine just soaking quietly in the tub, but when you’re bathing with your child, it’s more fun to hop in together and make a lively time of it—just like this song.
Enjoy a cheerful, energetic bath time!
Oh! ShampooShinzawa Toshihiko & Nakagawa Hirotaka
Many children love to play with shampoo—making horns out of the white, foamy lather or shaping it like animal ears.
For kids like that, we recommend “Oh! Shampoo.” In the song, a child transforms into a ghost using shampoo bubbles.
Watching the fun of playing with shampoo might even make bath-averse kids think, “Maybe I want to try that!” Why not play this song as an invitation, saying, “When you take a bath, you can have this much fun!”?
Splish Splash Bath SongChildren Love to Sing Christmas & Kids Songs
Not only is it fun to take a bath, but you can also learn English with the “Splish Splash Bath Song.” It expresses the love of hopping in the tub with someone—like Dad, Mom, or a sibling—splashing water at each other and helping wash one another.
Set to a lively melody, the song shares all the reasons baths are great, so even kids who don’t like bath time might start thinking, “Maybe baths are actually fun!” As children grow, more of them start bathing on their own, but this song conveys the feeling that bath time becomes more enjoyable when you share it with someone.
What a nice bath.Za Dorifutāzu
When it comes to baths, many people probably think of this song! The Drifters’ “Ii Yu da na” is a quintessential bath-time song beloved across Japan.
This tune, which takes you on a tour of hot spring resorts around the country, was originally sung by the vocal group Duke Aces.
Later, in 1967, The Drifters released it as the B-side to their single “Zukkoke-chan.” An arranged version of the song was used as the ending theme for The Drifters’ popular TV shows “It’s 8 O’Clock! Everybody, Gather ‘Round!” and “The Drifters’ Big Laughter.” With its fun and familiar melody, the song leaves you with the impression that taking a bath is something enjoyable.

Hot springs, yu! yu! yu!Tomita Shinya
It’s a quintessentially Japanese bath song with a rhythm like an ondō.
The beat is catchy, so you can have fun singing it with your kids.
It might be fun to memorize all the parts that sing about the hot spring’s benefits and surprise them.
And the repeated “yu” is something you’ll want to belt out together!
