The H1N1 Influenza Song

So the CDC says that to beat the flu this year we need to wash our hands well.
specifically with soap and hot water, and long enough to kill the germs.. which happens to be how long it takes to sing two verses of Happy Birthday..

Happy Birthday for the flu? that will never work:

So here are some new words that I made up..
progressively more macabre, to catch the imagination of different age groups.

2 verses is all it takes.

If you wash your hands well
Flu germs on you won't dwell
Water hot and suds thick,
so I don't get sick

If you skip past verse two
swine flu may invade you
So scrub well to the end
to guard you and your friend.

---
Flu germs on me do land
If I don't wash my hand
they will move to my head
and send me to my bed

Germs always land on me
they are hard to see
If time I try to save
they send me to my grave

--
If we don't wash our hands
to get rid of the flu
we will pass it around
and give it to you
