Used to be that washing hands wasn’t such a big affair
And if you skipped a time or two nobody would care
As long as they weren’t dirty you assumed they were just fine
Just as long as you had them clean by dinner time

Nowadays though washing hands has to be done well and right
If you don’t comply there’ll be a dog fight
Because you will spread infection just as quickly as you can
So you have to remember each time to wash your hands

Washing hands can help stop your patients from dieing
Washing hands should be a habit all day long
Washing hands can be a bother
But you have to understand
You can save lives just by washing hands

Every time you wash your hands you should try to spend
Fifteen or twenty seconds the guidelines recommend
That is the time that’s needed to accomplish the task
So be kind to your patients and always wash your hands

Washing hands can help stop your patients from dieing
Washing hands should be a habit all day long
Washing hands can be a bother
But you have to understand
You can save lives just by washing hands
