2019 lyrics[]
Simon: Before you eat food
Emma: After you play with animals
Lachy: And after you use the toilet
Wiggles: Wash your hands
Wet your hands
Use liquid soap
Lather your hands
And rub them round
Emma: And count to fifteen... ready?
Wiggles: 1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7, 8
9, 10, 11, 12
13, 14, 15
Wiggles: Rinse your hands,
Towel or air them dry
Turn off the tap
With a towel or your sleeve
Emma: Now your hands are clean
Wiggles: Wet your hands
Use liquid soap
Lather your hands
And rub them round
Emma: And count to fifteen... ready?
Wiggles: 1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7, 8
9, 10, 11, 12
13, 14, 15
Wiggles: Rinse your hands,
Towel or air them dry
Turn off the tap
With a towel or your sleeve
Emma: Now your hands are clean
