Dream lover, where did you go?
Upstairs by the toilet bowl.
What you doing way up there?
Washing out my underwear.
How’d you get them squeaky clean?
With a bottle of listerine!
This is one of the rude and disgusting rhymes children have always loved. We keep every rhyme exactly as children sang it.

The title probably echoes Bobby Darin's 1959 hit 'Dream Lover'. Listerine (sold from 1879) is an American mouthwash. We haven't found a dated record of it yet.
