lyrics

A jumper or two and a pair of socks they want to hit that dirty box
A jumper or two and a pair of socks they want to hit that dirty box
A jumper or two and a pair of socks they want to hit that dirty box
So shoot, Natascha, shoot shoot Natascha shoot!

Natascha has been taking careful aim at this point and scored a couple of good hits. As a result she is starting to quite enjoy this game and so has more enthusiasm as the song enters its second verse during which she frolics and gambols along to the song.

A wrinkly blouse and your dress up frocks they want to hit that dirty box
A wrinkly blouse and your dress up frocks they want to hit that dirty box
A wrinkly blouse and your dress up frocks they want to hit that dirty box
So shoot, Natascha, shoot shoot Natascha shoot!

Her dad picks up a cricket bat and during the next verse whacks any items that are going off target into the box too.
Natscha begins to help with even greater enthusiasm now, positively dancing around her room rolling up clothes into balls and hurling them into the washbox or simply scooping them up and in.
Natascha’s dad pulls a few things out to check what has gone in.

An Ozzy rules shirt and a pair of jocks!

What are you doing with these?

Natascha takes these from him and drops them back in the basket in sync with the appropriate words in the song.

Natascha - An Ozzy rules shirt and a pair of jocks they want to hit that dirty box.

Natascha shrugs and dad is done speaking just in time to join in with her singing “they want to hit that dirty box.”

Nat and dad - An Ozzy rules shirt and a pair of jocks they want to hit that dirty box.
So shoot, Natascha, shoot shoot Natascha shoot!

Natascha – I could use a little help! Anyone out there a good shot? Put your hands up if you think you’re a good shot! Okay, you, you and you keep your hands up. Everyone else, lets make some noise.

Alright, one at a time I’m going to count to three and when I say three I want you to throw the jeans you’re holding into the dirty box which will be held by my beautiful assistant.

Alright wait for me to say three then. 1-2-3. Beautiful.

Next little helper. That’s you mate. Alright. One, two three and!

Fantastic!

Last but not least then, give me your best shot mate. One two three!

Alright!
.

A jumper or two and a pair of socks they want to hit that dirty box
A jumper or two and a pair of socks they want to hit that dirty box
A jumper or two and a pair of socks they want to hit that dirty box
So shoot, Natascha, shoot shoot, Natascha. Shoot Natascha shoot shoot, Natascha!
Shoot Natascha shoot shoot, Natascha shoot!
