Wash Your Hands
Harmony in Hygiene: Young Folk's Anthem for Clean Hands
Lyrics
Calling all you children, calling all you grown ups too
Inviting both children and adults to listen and participate.
If you wanna change the world there is something you can do
Suggesting a way to contribute to changing the world.
It may sound kind of simple, it may sound kind of small
Highlighting that the action is simple but impactful.
But theres a job that we can do to help answer the call
Encouraging everyone to contribute to a collective effort.
You don't need a doctrine, you don't need a P.H.D.
Stressing that specialized knowledge is not required.
All you need is H20 and some S.O.A.P.
Emphasizing the basic needs for the task: water and soap.
You can do it at your school, you can do it at your work
Suggesting that the action can be done in various settings.
You can do it when you stay at home to help flatten the curve
Connecting the action to the effort to control the spread of illness.
So go turn on the water, go and grab a little soap
Instructing to turn on the water and get soap ready.
Put your hands together to this little song I wrote
Encouraging participation through a simple song.
You've got to wash your hands if you wanna be clean
Stating the importance of handwashing for cleanliness.
Those dirty little germs can be oh so very mean
Highlighting the potential harm of germs and the necessity to clean hands.
If you wanna stay healthy, its oh so plain to see
Emphasizing the clear connection between handwashing and health.
You got to wash your hands in the sink
Reiterating the importance of washing hands, specifying the sink.
When you use the bathroom, when you come inside from play
Expanding the situations where handwashing is crucial.
Even 20 seconds makes the world a better place
Stressing that even a short duration can have a positive impact.
Scrub all of your fingers, thumbs and even both your wrists
Detailing the areas of the hand that should be washed thoroughly.
Don't forget your fingernails, thats something you might miss
Pointing out a specific area (fingernails) that might be overlooked.
We can do out part to help our family, neighbors, friends
Encouraging a collective effort to benefit family, neighbors, and friends.
When we all work together hope will spread throughout the land
Expressing hope for positive change as a result of collective action.
