The vocal part of [Her Majesty](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh1hKt5kQ_4) is about right.

\*The sun’ll come out  
Tomorrowwwwwww!!!

BET your bottom dollar  
That tomorrowwww  
There’ll be suuuuuuuun!

Just thinkin’ about  
Tomorrowwwwwwww  
Clears away the cobwebs  
And the sorrowwwwwwww  
'Til there’s noooooooooone!\*

Playbill’s newsletter has been sending out Broadway-themed 20-second song bits. This is my fave so far.

Sorry for the earworm…

And now we need a song for the “timeout – please wait 30 seconds” interval…

Well, they went full tilt and released a “wash your hand with baby shark” [version](https://youtu.be/L89nN03pBzI?t=15).

It drags on and on, but I guess with kids and hand washing overkill might just about work.

Released last Sat. and only 3 million views. Pffft.

If you hate corona virus, wash your hands (oh, yeah)  
If you hate corona virus, wash your hands (uh, huh)  
If you hate corona virus  
You can make it pass right by us  
If you hate corona virus, wash your hands (woo-hoo!)

Each stanza in [“I Gotta Wash My Hands!”, the famous Beatles song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxOJ7hh3H-I), is about 20 seconds long.
