As children head back to school and the world braces for the flu, we are all teaching children the fundamentals of good hygiene. Nothing works better than a song to instill these habits! I suggest you download and play the recorded version, adding the simple hand motions. Do this once a day for the first week or two of school and you’ll have a good start! Of course you can also sing the song without accompaniment, or with your own by using the sheet music with guitar chords. Have a happy, healthy fall!
Lyrics
Gonna wash my hands throughout the day
Before I eat and after I play
I'm gonna scrub, dub, rub a dub dub
Gonna wash my hands, scrub a dub, dub,
Scrub-a-dub-dub
Gonna keep those germs away
Just doing these two things every day
Gonna cover my mouth when I cough or sneeze
Right into my elbow, right into my sleeve
I'm gonna cover, cover, cover my mouth
When I cough or sneeze
(cover, cover, cover it up)
Scrub a dub, dub, scrub a dub dub
Cover, cover, cover it up
Gonna do these two things everyday
3. Gonna wash my hands throughout the day
I'm gonna keep those germs away
Scrub-a dub-dub, scrub-a-dub dub
