The Lyrics

Not directly related to Red Ant's "If You're Anal and You Know It (Leave Us Spam!)", but the idea of using this OS came from there.
If you don't want hepatitis, wash your hands (wash, wash)
Rinses off the bugs that bite us; wash your hands (wash, wash)
So, stop spreading sinusitis
Common cold, conjunctivitis
Asian flu, appendicitis;
Wash your hands!

And, PLEASE, after using restroom, wash your hands (soap, soap)
It's the parasitic pest room - wash your hands (soap, soap)
Ev'ry time you touch your penis
Or (for women) Mound of Venus
From diseases you should screen us
Wash your hands!

When you've finished love you're making, wash your hands (scrub, scrub)
If it's mine you might be shaking, wash your hands (scrub, scrub)
Be-fore prepping food or baking
This advice you should be taking:
Sanitation not forsaking,
Wash your hands!

At the end of Jacking off, go wash your hands (rinse, rinse)
Doctor: "Turn your head and cough"; Doc, wash your hands! (rinse, rinse)
People hate when you correct 'em
Have you washed your hands and checked 'em?
Dear God, after wiping rectum
Wash your hands!!!


I was going to use this space to thank you, Red Ant, but instead I'll just plug in the phone, Jack, and call you, OK? OS might be here. © 2006 Tommy Turtle

Great stuff Tommy Turtle. I always wash my hands BEFORE I use the restroom too; after all, so many surfaces are of questionable cleanliness. I wouldn't want any of that on my Slick Willie, heh heh. Not a germ freak by any means, but I used to work at a wastewater plant; that should be sufficient explanation in itself.

"Dear God, after wiping rectum"; reminds me of George Carlin's view of this (to paraphrase): 'I wash my hands...if I s*** on them, which only happens 2, maybe 3 times a week'

John B., Rick C., alvin, Red Ant, AFW, thanks.

alvin, I was once in the restroom of a Cracker Barrel restaurant; the manager came in, used the toilet, walked out without washing, and walked right into the kitchen. Sorta lost my appetite for the rest of dinner, but if you really want hepatitis, eating there should do it.

Thanks, Luke; nice to see you again!
Will really need mouth-washing after what I (hope I) posted for today!

After writing this wee ditty - wash your hands
For your keyboard may be shitty - wash your hands
Make your fingernails all pretty
Not disgusting, brown and gritty
Else it sure would be a pity, wash your hands


...but I'm not sure that any of the forms of hepatitis would be contagious simply from unwashed hands. But who cares, anyway.. this was fun :-) The other hospital bug might go something like this:
To reduce that MRSA, wash your hands
Cleanliness, it is the best way, wash your hands
So to try and make it less, eh
You must not be oh so messay
Do I have to write an essay? Wash your hands
TT - March 15, 2006 - Report this comment
Phil, thanks! You must be on a hospital staph, no? Nice follow-on; feel free to extend into a full-fledged sequel (with appropriate credit, of course; see RA's ode to G. Harrison's "research", i.e. plagiarism. :)
Good rhyme for MRSA; betcha can't rhyme the uncontracted phrase :)
Spread of Hep A can be by:"Eating food that has been prepared by someone who is infected with the hepatitis A virus and who has poor hygiene" 3w.webmd.com/hw/hepatitis_a/hw124862.asp. This happened in a restaurant near me; it was closed down after a number of people got Hep, traced to an infected and unhygienic cook. That story was the main inspiration for the parody idea.

I didn't feel washed up after only four verses! Luckily it was contagious enough for Phil to get down and dirty on his keyboard and give us more! Best one I've read today!
Phil Alexander - March 15, 2006 - Report this comment
Well, you learn something new every day... ISTR reading that the viruses (viri?) that cause hepatitis are fairly fragile beasties, but that was probably talking more about Hep b... The "uncontracted phrase"? Not entirely sure what you mean, but:
If your phrase is uncontracted - wash your hands
For it must not be contacted - wash your hands
So before you have been smacked-ed
In your face it has impacted
Do not stop or get distracted - wash your hands
TT - March 15, 2006 - Report this comment
Peter K1, thank you!

Phil, my bad; I realize that "contracted" had a different connotation in a disease parody. I meant it in the linguistic sense (but, come to think of it, it was a pretty good accidental pun!), i. e.: Can you make a rhyme for " Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus", of which "MRSA" is a "contraction"? If you can, you're a better man than I am, Grungied In! (rotten pun on "Gunga Din") Good Lord willin', persistent pal Phil will rock us, not bore-ee us!

"Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus"... check the scansion on that one... now there's an idea :-) OK, I'll have a go

Excellent rhyme scheme. And educational too. Great work with the OS. I'll have to check out Red's when I have a chance.

Glen S: Thanks for the kind v/c. And yes, this parody had a "germ" of truth to it. (rotten pun -- OUCH! ;)

What a dirty parody! One should wash one's hands of the whole thing! :)

I take no responsibility for this parody whatsoever. Do with the turtle as you will. (However, flogging is somewhat less effective against turtles than against humans. Clever creatures, they. No wonder they've been around for about 2 million years longer than humans.)
