Note: Lyrics in bold are only in the full version.
Touching, coughing, sneezing, even hugging your pet
Creates a superhighway for germs
To avoid a germ-ageddon, you've got to disinfect
So, listen up, you bacteroides, it's time to learn
Wash those hands after mining boogers from your noses
Understand a turtle tank might spawn salmonellosis
Bodies are designed like big intelligent machines
But they ain't gonna shine unless we do our best to keep 'em clean
You gotta wet, lather and scrub
Cleaning up can be your favorite hobby
You gotta wet, lather and scrub
Go be the hero of the antibodies
If you're gonna cough you gotta cover your mouth
Also every time that you sneeze
Sharing can be fun but you'll upset a few pals
If it's an infectious disease
Don't lick stuff even though the doorknobs look delicious
Look, don't touch 'cause kids are walking petri dishes
You gotta wet, lather and scrub
Make a habit out of staying healthy
You gotta wet, lather and scrub
Go be the hero of the antibodies
There's a simple yet critical list of directions
To stopping the possible spread of infections
Bacterial, viral, microbial bugs
On handles and tissues and toilets and rugs
1. Make the water flow, flow
2. Lather up that soap, soap
3. Scrub 'em up clean, rinse and repeat
Dry 'em up, let's go go go!
You gotta wet, lather and scrub
Cleaning up can be your favorite hobby
You gotta wet, lather and scrub
Go be the hero of the antibodies
Or at the very least
Just stay away from me
Yuck!
