Lead speaking- Now listen to this here.
I may not work for the government.
I may not have a doctor’s degree.
But this here is common sense.
When you cough, and when you sneeze
Cover your mouth and put it in your sleeve.
That will help the rest of us,
From catching the Corona disease.

Actin like you just don’t care.

Lead- Keep it away from me!!!
Group continues singing- Keep it away from me!!

You gonna keep it away from me.
Oh, cher'run!!
I’m outta here.
Group- keep it away from me!!
Lead speaking - Wash your hands.
God bless ya
