about

[Song notes:
This is an educational call-and-response type song loosely inspired by singing a bunch of Sea Shanties during a cruise.

The main track was recorded in the atrium of the Holland America ship Nieuw Amsterdam during a JocoCruise jam session. I then added a couple more harmony tracks recorded near gate E4 in the Ft. Lauderdale airport and tweaked with GarageBand. So if you think you hear some odd environmental background noise ,you're probably right!]

lyrics

Title: Hand Washing

Lyrics:
I don’t need to wash my hands
I don’t need to wash my hands
The water is too wet and I forget
I don’t need to wash my hands

I intend to touch my face
I intend to touch my face
Cause faces sometime itch and I won’t switch
I intend to touch my face

I refuse to hide from crowds
I refuse to hide from crowds
Crowds form where there’s fun, and I’m not done
I refuse to hide from crowds

I won’t cover when I cough
I won’t cover when I cough
Cause coughing wild and free announces me
I won’t cover when I cough

I don’t need to disinfect
I don’t need to disinfect
Cause cleanliness is something I reject
I don’t need to disinfect

I don’t plan to stay at home
I don’t plan to stay at home
My soul is free wherever I may roam
I don’t plan to stay at home

Now I’m sad that we’re all sick
Now I’m sad that we’re all sick
It could be that I’ve been a little thick
Now I’m sad that we’re all sick

I respect clean lifestyle now
I respect clean lifestyle now
All earlier advice I disavow
I respect clean lifestyle now

It’s okay to wash your hands
It’s okay to wash your hands
Biology and physics understands
It’s okay to wash your hands
