"Wet, Lather and Scrub" is a PSA song sung by Lisa Loud . It was created to remind kids to stay healthy and wash their hands during the COVID-19 pandemic .
According to Sarah Johnson , the song is actually from an upcoming three-minute short, and that the video is actually clips spliced together in a non-linear order. She also confirmed that the topic of the song (washing your hands) was out of pure coincidence, since this short was pitched in July 2019 and wasn't meant to be a PSA in the first place.[1]

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 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 Yuckk!

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! Yuckk!
