[Royal Woods Elementary. Lisa grabs her lunchbox from the cubby and joins her peers at lunch.] Lisa: "Well, my fellow classmates, it's time to nourish our cerebral development with nutritional sustenance. Street name: get our lunch on." [opens her lunchbox] "So, what did the rest of you bring?" [She perks up when she sees Mitchy picking his nose, a girl sneezing on him while eating her sandwich as a turtle walks by, and Petey Wimple licking up spilled peanut butter on the table, residue chunks landing on another boy who has spilled it.] Lisa: "Great Caesar's ghost! Compatriots, the level of hygiene on this table is frankly unacceptable." [zooms off and comes back with a board] "Let me explain. Our health is at risk due to airborne particles which can contain pathogens, also known as germs, that can cause diseases such as salmonella, norovirus, adenovirus, and-" [realizes her peers are asleep and bored] "My presentation seems to be lacking the adequate triggers to engage and sustain the attention span of my fellow classmates. Hmm..." [gets an idea and brings out a boombox] "Let me break it down for you." [Starts singing]
♫ 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 One, make the water flow, flow Two, lather up that soap, soap Three, 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 sta-a-a-a-ay away from me ♫ Yuck!
[As Lisa finishes the song, her peers all cheer. Even the turtle is crying as it gets out a napkin to wipe off the germs. The end.]
