Released: 1961
Single?: Many times over.
This here's a great tune from the one-hit wonders the Jarmels. It's such a swell number, it's been covered a billion jillion times, yet I only heard it for the first time a few years back. Maybe the problem was each cover got a little bit more watered down and, frankly, whiter. Paul Davis and Nigel Olsson were the Michael Boltons of their days, tapping the song for hits in 1970 and 1979 respectively. Others included Diane Lawerence, the Exciters, Garnet Mimms, Showaddywaddy and Daniel Johnston.
A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face
But 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
Mmm, 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, mmm, mmm, mmm
Have you heard when love begins to die it leaves someone to cry night and Day?
Like a bird, you left your robin's nest and-a just like all the rest you flew away
Mmm, a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually
But 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
Mmm, a little bit of soap-a will never wash away my tearsFADE
Mmm, it's gonna never, never, never, uh-huh, wash away my tears
