Wash Your Hands To A Whole New World
When only the best 20-second handwashing song will do: you use the Broadway version, of course!
You must feel trapped
inside these walls.
We’ll run away, just you and me.
Why not escape as evening falls?
There’s a whole world for you to see.
J: (spoken) If I go with
you, would it be safe?
A: (spoken) Sure, do you trust me?
J: (spoken) What did you just say?
A: (spoken) Do you trust me?
J: (spoken) I’m not sure why, but yes.
A: I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming
J: A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I’m way up
here, it’s crystal clear
That now I’m in a whole
new world with you
Now I’m in a whole new world with you
A: (Now I’m in a whole
new world with you)
J: Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
J: A whole new world
A: (Don’t you dare close your eyes)
J: A hundred thousand things to see
A: (Hold your breath, it gets better)
J: I’m like a shooting star
I’ve come so far
I can’t go back
To where I used to be
A: A whole new world
J: Every turn a surprise
A: With new horizons to pursue
J: Every moment gets better
BOTH: I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
Let me share this whole
new world with you
J: A whole new world
A: (Don’t you dare close your eyes)
J: A hundred thousand things to see
A: (Hold your breath, it gets better)
J: I’m like a shooting star
I’ve come so far
I can’t go back
To where I used to be
A: A whole new world
J: Every turn a surprise
A: With new horizons to pursue
J: Every moment gets better
BOTH: I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
Let me share this whole
new world with you
A: A whole new world
J: A whole new world
A: That’s where we’ll be
J: That’s where we’ll be
A: A thrilling place
J: A wondrous place
BOTH: For you and me
Wash Your Hands To I Just Can’t Wait To Be King From The Lion King
So enemies beware
With quite so little hair
Like no king was before
I’m brushing up on looking down
I’m working on my roar
Arranged a heart to heart
From little horn-bills for a start
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn’t hang about
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I’m
Standin’ in the spotlight
Let’s hear it in the herd and on the wing
It’s gonna be King Simba’s finest fling
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king
Go Under The Sea For 20-Seconds Of Disney Song Handwashing
The little mermaid is a natural choice for this one!
I mean, water… duh.
In somebody else’s lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin’ for?
Under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’
Full time to floatin’
Under the sea
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain’t happy
They sad ’cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who’s gon’ be on the plate?
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
We got the beat here
Naturally (Naturally)
Even the sturgeon an’ the ray
They get the urge ‘n’ start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin’ sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin’ out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it’s at
An’ oh that blowfish blow
Under the sea (Under the sea)
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It’s music to me (It’s music to me)
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin’ a rug here
Under the sea
Know how to wail here
That’s why it’s hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea
Whistle While You Work 20-Second Handwashing Song
Just whistle while you work
Put on that grin and start right in to whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune
Just do your best and take a rest and sing yourself a song
When there’s too much to do
Don’t let it bother you, forget your troubles,
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
And whistle while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and start
To whistle while you work
