Lucy Kalantari & the Jazz Cats - "Bienvenidos" Feat. Flor Bromley and Nathalia (Lyric video)

We know it's hard to scrub your hands for the FULL TWENTY SECONDS, so we've made it easy for you! Do your hand washing with a swing with Lucy Kalantari & the Jazz Cats! 

Lyrics:
Do you know how long you gotta wash your hands for?
Twenty seconds!  
Do you know how long you gotta wash your hands for?
Twenty seconds!  

We’re 10 seconds in and I’m starting to grin
Rub a dub scrub just look at all the suds
Who knew this could be such funIt’s more fun when this song is sung
And just like that, we’re done!

This track can be found on the Alexa Skill Handwash Jukebox and on....
