about

This was my reaction to what seemed like a flood of commercials in the 1990's putting black voices behind white faces (or raisins, or other cartoons) while never showing actual black people. Also, selling Sugar Pop cereal to kids as though it were an addictive drug. (Actual tag line: “Gotta have my Pops!”)

lyrics

Well let me tell you all about it
My life was empty till I found it
And now I don’t leave home without it
It changed my world no doubt about it

Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(Gonna make that woman mine!)

I’ll give you lovin’ and devotion
And when your bowl’s in a commotion
I’ve got my little magic potion
And soon you’ll second that emotion

Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(Gonna make that woman mine!)

M.C.T.B.C.! You know that’s me!
Spokesman for the bowl cleaner industry
Now tell me brother how can you be
A hip-hoppin rappin’ homey if your bowl ain’t clean?

Well I saw her there and we started to flirt
She said “Ooh, your bowl is full of dirt!”
I said “Excuse me baby I’ll be back in a flash!”
A little T.B.C. took care of that

And now she said she said she’d be mine!
And now she said she said she’d be mine!
Now I’m the happiest man alive!
Yeah I’m standing tall and I owe it all to

Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
(You gotta have it!
You gotta have it!
You gotta gotta gotta!)
Toilet bowl cleaner
Gonna run right out and buy it!
