Lyr Req: The Hygiene Song

From: Haruo

A song that I'm pretty sure is in the Best & Best Song Fest of 1954, but can't find in DT. Portions I recall go:

Oh, we never used to bathe
Till we heard the Doctor rave
In the lectures that she gave
How to beha-a-a-ave
Now we take our daily bath
Even though we miss our math
How in the world do you know that?
She told me so!

When we are older,
Then we'll be bolder
We'll take it colder,
Up to our shou-o-o-older
This we must do every day,
Even if we pass away.
How in the world do you know that?
She told me so!

There's lots of other verses and choruses to it.

It occurs to me I should probably have titled this thread "Lyr Req: She Told Me So".

There are also lots of (truncated) verses for various colleges, along the lines of

My girl's from Vassar
None can surpass her
She is the "stroke" of the varsity crew-ew-ew
And in my future life
She's gonna be my wife.
How in the world do you know that?
She told me so!

My girl's from MIT,
She is a travesty;
Girls who go for engineering
Are not so hot appearing
In my future life... etc.

Another was something like

Let us pause in admiration of amoeba's abnegation
And her propaga-a-ation of her genera-a-ation
(tied in somehow with rabbits, "bashful bunnies do quite well"??)

Somebody out there with the Best Fest please post the rest, it's driving me batty trying to recall it all.
