Alright, here we go…

Before you eat or go to sleep
When you wake up in the morning
Fore you brush those teeth
Wash hands (don’t forget the soap) wash hands

Sing the ABC song
and when it is done
That’s just how long
You’ve got to get it done Wash hands

Invisible germs can make us sick
Some are floating in the air
They could land anywhere
Wash hands (Warm water & soap) wash hands

Sing the ABC song
and when it is done
That’s just how long
You’ve got to get it done Wash hands

Listen up…
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y and Z
Now I know my ABCs, won’t you wash your hands with me

Look at all the things everybody is touching
Put your arm to your mouth
when sneezing or coughing
Wash hands (don’t forget the soap) wash hands

Sing the ABC song
and when it is done
That’s just how long
You’ve got to get it done Wash hands

If you catch a flu or cold
Just stay home till the germs are gone
Wash hands (warm water and soap) wash hands

Sing the ABC song
and when it is done
That’s just how long
You’ve got to get it done Wash hands

Spreading germs is serious business
I’m depending on you to
Spread this message instead
Wash hands (Tell your family and your friends)
Wash hands

Sing the ABC song
and when it is done
That’s just how long
You’ve got to get it done Wash hands
Wash hands

Sing the ABC song
and when it is done
That’s just how long
You’ve got to get it done Wash hands
Wash hands
