Staying Cool at School
( CHORUS #1 )
staying cool at school, with rhythm,
rhymes and rules
if you do something right,
then your teacher might,
hmmmm, might tell you
GOOD JOB, I like what you did
GOOD JOB, you showed respect for the other kids
GOOD JOB, all your work looks really fine
GOOD JOB, I’d like to see you do this all the time
so many kids look at them all
in your class or moving down the hall
if every kid did what he wanted to do
the school would be crazy and so would you
( CHORUS #2 )
staying cool at school, with rhythm,
rhymes and rules
if you do something wrong,
it won’t take long
for your teacher to give you
TIME OUT, you’ll be sitting by your self
TIME OUT, don’t bother blaming anyone else
TIME OUT, to get your feet back on the ground
TIME OUT, to think and settle down
now every kid likes to squiggle and squirm
but you go to school so you can learn
so in every school there are times in the day
for kids to learn and for kids to play
( CHORUS #1 )
so listen to your teacher
she has something to say
about just what you’re going to do today
letters for reading, numbers for math
( CHORUS #2 )
( CHORUS #1 )
