Washing Nine To Five
(Working Nine To Five)
Rewritten by Mark Coley on 2.4.20

Verse 1
When you tumble outta bed,
Before your in the kitchen,
Wash your hands,
That's what I am teaching
Front and back,
Between all your fingers and thumbs,
And an hour later, repeat if your willing,
We need to stop, Corona from living,
So please remember to wash,
From nine to five..

Chorus 1
Washing nine to five,
To stop that virus from breeding,
Washing nine to five,
Will prevent it all from spreading,
If you, wash in time,
That will be to your own credit,
Every hour, on the hour,
Is when you all should do it..

Chorus 2
Washing Nine to five,
To stop contamination,
Washing nine to five,
You just need determination,
If you do your best,
Then that virus, will diminish,
Go on clean your hands,
And make it last two minutes.

Verse 2
Wash to exteme, its not obsessive,
Every hour would be impressive,
Soap and water will wash it all away,
And everybody, there around you,
Should do the same, and do as you do,
So tell em, 'Wash your hands,
Throughout the day'..

Chorus 1

To stop contamination,
Washing nine to five,
You just need determination,
If you do your best,
Then that virus, will diminish,
Go on clean your hands,
And make it last two minutes.
