Praying Hands

[Verse 1] You got your left hand You got your right hand You got your left hand You got your right hand Well the left hand's diddling While the right hand goes to work I said the left hand's diddling now While the right hand goes to work You got both hands You got both hands You got praying hands You got praying hands They pray for no man They pray for no man [Pre-Chorus] Okay, relax And assume the position Go into doggie submission [Chorus] Wash your hands three times a day Always do what your mom and dad say Brush your teeth in the following way Wash your hands three times a day [Verse 2] You got your left hand You got your right hand You got your left hand You got your right hand Well the left hand's diddling While the right hand goes to work I said the left hand's diddling now While the right hand goes to work You got both hands You got both hands You got praying hands You got praying hands They pray for no man They pray for no man [Pre-Chorus] Roll over, play dead Get spiritual-minded Okay, relax And assume the position Go into doggie submission [Chorus] Wash your hands three times a day Always do what your mom and dad say Brush your teeth in the following way Wash your hands three times a day
