Wash, hands, wash
A formula for making young children submit to the operation of having their hands washed. Mutatis mutandis, the lines will serve as a specific for everything of the kind, as brushing hair, &c.
“Wash, hands, wash,
Daddy's gone to plough,
If you want your hands wash'd,
Have them wash'd now.”
