🎵 Song Lyrics

Little penguin was playing
Outside touching everything
Snowy rocks and fishy fins
Then he wiped his nose and chin

Little penguin’s feeling sick
Washing hands he did forget
So wash your hands keep them clean
You’ll keep away the germs you’ll see

Little penguin’s in his bed
Sick from stomach to head
Still he didn’t wash his hands
Guess he didn’t understand

Little penguin’s feeling sick
Washing hands he did forget
So wash your hands keep them clean
You’ll keep away the germs you’ll see

Doctor said now listen here
Germs are hiding far and near
Wash your hands throughout the day
Then your sneeze will go away

Little penguin’s feeling sick
Washing hands he did forget
So wash your hands keep them clean
You’ll keep away the germs you’ll see

Little penguin won’t forget
To wash his hands he’ll never quit
Now he tells his penguin friends
Wash your hands don’t let the germs win

About This Song

Little Penguin's Feeling Sick is a fun and gentle song about Bebo the penguin getting sick after he forgets to wash his hands. Bebo plays outside by the lake, touching everything he finds, from snowy rocks to fishy fins. Then he wipes his nose and chin, but he never washes his hands.

Soon Bebo feels sick from his tummy all the way up to his head. He has to stay in bed under a warm blanket while Mommy Penguin takes care of him. Even in bed, Bebo still does not wash his hands.

Dr. Penguin comes to the house to check on Bebo. He tells Bebo that germs are hiding everywhere, near and far. Washing his hands all through the day will help keep the germs away, so his sneezes can go away too.

Bebo listens to Dr. Penguin, and now he never forgets to wash his hands and keep them clean. Bebo tells all his penguin friends to wash their hands so the germs can't win.
