Sing along as you wash your hands:
When you cough and when you sneeze
Ya gotta wash those germs off if you please
Ya gotta wash your hands – hey – wash your hands with lots of soapy water
When you’re playing in the dirt
Don’t wipe your hands upon your shirt
Ya gotta wash your hands – hey – wash your hands with lots of soapy water
Gunk and crud and scuz under your nails
Ya gotta clean and scrub and wash them without fail
Wash your hands – hey – wash your hands with lots of soapy water
Ya gotta wash your hands – hey – wash your hands you know you really ought ta’
If you stick a finger in your nose
Can you guess the next place it should go?
That’s right – wash your hands – hey – wash your hands with lots of soapy water
After playing with your dog
Or hunting bugs under a log
Ya gotta wash your hands – hey – wash your hands with lots of soapy water
Gunk and crud and scuz under your nails
Ya gotta clean and scrub and wash them without fail
Wash your hands – hey – wash your hands with lots of soapy water
Ya gotta wash your hands – hey – wash your hands you know you really ought ta’
