The Ten Commandments Of Health
Music by Christopher Cerf
Lyrics by Thad Mumford
sung by Dr. Thad (voice: Thad Mumford)
and The Medications (Jerry Nelson and others)
One, wash your hands before you eat
Two, brush your teeth after every meal
Three, see your doctor and your dentist
We all need checkups no matter how good we feel
Oh how lovely life will be if we keep the
Ten commandments of health
Four, cover your nose whenever sneezing
Five, cover your mouth when you're coughing too
Six, dress warmly in cold weather
And you won't have much coughing or sneezing to do
Oh how lovely life will be if we keep the
Ten commandments of health
Health, oh sweet health
It's worth more than fame or wealth to me
One thing I say a lot
"Take care of the life you got it's such a precious commodity."
Seven, exercise to keep in shape
Eight, bathe or shower when each day is through
Nine, eat lots of fruits and vegetables
Ten, give your body all the sleep that it's due
Oh how grand we're gonna feel
'Cause we'll keep the
Ten commandments of health
The ten commandments of health!
