Clean your face song for kids — "Schmutz!" cover art by Snuggle Bunch

About This Song

There’s always something on their face. You don’t know what it is, or how it got there, but it needs to come off before we meet the grandparents! “Schmutz!” is a love letter to that universal parent move — the lick-the-thumb wipe, the sleeve grab, the “hold still for one second” that never actually takes one second. Sometimes it’s crusty, sometimes it’s soft, and it’s always the most embarrassing moment.

This playful kids’ hip hop track turns the everyday schmutz situation into a catchy sing-along for toddlers and preschoolers. With its funny rhymes and back-and-forth dialog, it makes face-wiping feel less like a battle and more like a groove. Because a schmutz-less face? That’s how ya gotta be.

Lyrics

🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵

Uh oh, come here
You got a little schmutz
Just a little schmutz on your face
Don’t fuss I’ll be quick
Ok ok how about I tell ya in a song?

Wipe it off!

Schmutz is a mess you can wipe right off
With a cloth or your hand
Or the top of your sock
Or the edge of your sleeve
Just don’t let em see
A schmutz-less face
That’s how ya gotta be

So wipe off the schmutz!
Wipe off the schmutz
After a wipe it’ll all be kaputz
Schmutz is a mess we can take care of quick
Get too much schmutz, you’ll probably get sick

Schmutz is a mess you can wipe right off
Sometimes it’s crusty, sometimes it’s soft
No sense to stress with schmutz on your face
You can pick that stuff up all over the place!

Now wiping off schmutz is a messy business
Gimme a minute, we’ll be finished
Can’t let gramma or grampy or any of your friends
See ya lookin like that without a good cleanse

So wipe off the schmutz!
Wipe off the schmutz
After a wipe it’ll all be kaputz
Schmutz is a mess we can take care of quick
Get off all of that schmutz, you’ll be looking quite slick

Now ya see?
Schmutz is not a big deal

So I can go play?

Just a minute lemme get this last bit of schmutz

  • Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)

    ByFoxy Rox

    You know that moment when your kid has exactly one volume setting (and it’s too loud?) When baby brother just nodded off, the teacher’s mid-sentence, and your child picks right now to test the acoustics. “Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)” is for every parent who’s ever done the frantic whisper-shush while their kid stares back like you’re the unreasonable one.

  • Mac and Cheese!

    ByWolfie

    “Mac and Cheese!” is an ode to the one meal that never gets turned down! After time and time again trying to make something nice for my kids for dinner, we’ve come to realize if there’s mac and cheese, it’s gonna be a winner.

  • I’m a Little Teapot!

    ByFoxy Rox

    Your kids already know the words. They’ve been doing the handle-and-spout dance since daycare. So we took “I’m a Little Teapot” and flipped it to a hip hop bop it’s been waiting for. We kept the classic verses and added on our spin about heating up water for mommies and daddies, and how a fresh cup of tea helps us parents! Let’s be real, sometimes a teapot song is for the grown-ups too.

  • THREEnager!

    ByWolfie

    They want it. They need it. They must have it right now! You hand it over and…nope, they don’t want it anymore, it’s on the floor. Welcome to three. “THREEnager!” is told from the kid’s perspective — they make a fair point: they’ve only been on this planet for three short years, everything is a challenge. That doesn’t make the “why why why” phase any easier to survive, but at least now it has a beat!
