It's my neighbourhood, a Kidsure neighbourhood
And everybody knows, it's my place to grow

On a safety walk, on a safety talk
With my Mom and Dad, and we're really glad
We remember, to be careful

This is the best neighbourhood in the world, 'cause all the kids here are safe
We learn the golden rules of safety, and grow up to

And everybody knows, it's my place to grow
With my family, we're singing a melody,
A Kidsure safety neighbourhood (repeat)
See you there!

5. Ride My Bike

I'll be ready for the road and the traffic too
chorus
I'm going to ride my bike, I'm going to put my helmet on,
I've got a light and a horn and reflectors on, Real flashy clothes
When I ride my bike
Oh, oh, back at you!
You know you've got to watch those parked cars
We ride on the right side in a straight line
When I'm with my friends we ride one at a time
We go single file and we stop at the sign
We watch the parked cars and we have a good time
chorus
I'm going to ride my bike, I'm going to put my helmet on,
I've got a light and a horn and reflectors on, Real flashy clothes
When I ride my bike
Hey, how you doing?
Back at you,
ah, here comes a turn, we better use our signals
For a left turn, put your left arm out
For a right turn, left arm, elbow bent up
Stop, left arm, elbow bent down
Always look and listen and look all around
What? Here's one for you.
Now, use both brakes when you stop
That way you don't flip over!

Another Golden Rule of Safety!
Is it, don't put your finger in the toaster?
No, everybody knows that!
Then what is it?
I trust my feelings and I’m not afraid to do what’s right. I
am an important person and I deserve to feel safe.
7. I Trust My Feelings
I'm pretty smart, I'm pretty cute, I'm happy just to be with you
I'm wonderful, and beautiful, and all together huggable
And where we go, I like to show,
I trust my feelings
My feelings are my friends, they help me to decide
If I'm feeling good, if I'm feeling right
If I'm unsure, or scared at all
I trust my feelings
If I need some help I'll ask my feelings for advice
Who can I trust? That lady seems nice
And if I'm scared. I'll shout it out
I trust my feelings

I'm wonderful, and beautiful, and all together huggable
And where we go, I like to show,
I trust my feelings

I'm wonderful, and beautiful, and all together huggable

And where we go, I like to show,
I trust my feelings (repeat)

Another Golden Rule of Safety!
Is it, don't pull you dog's tail?
No, everybody knows that!
Then what is it?
I say NO if someone tries to touch me in a way that feels uncomfortable or scary. Then I GO and TELL a safe person what happened.
You're pretty smart, kid!
10. (Just Say) No and Go Tell
Yeah, all right
When I'm playing I can learn to protect myself, protect myself
Anywhere I go there's always someone near to help, someone near to help
If I get scared or if somebody bothers me, bothers me
I can say these words and help will come to me, say these words,
chorus
If I'm scared I just say 'No, and Go Tell!'
If I'm scared I just say 'No, and Go Tell!
If I'm afraid I just say 'No, and Go Tell!

If I'm afraid I just say 'No, and Go Tell!
and help will, come to me
Help will come to me, oh yeah,
You know, most people in the world are really nice
There are big people and small people, loud people and quiet people
Funny people, serious people
People that we like, people that we're not sure about yet
But we all have this little voice inside of ourselves that helps us everyday
And if you're ever with someone who is scaring you or asking you to go somewhere with them
That voice will say 'No!' and it's time for you to go and tell someone you trust what happened
Let's try it,
Say 'No, and Go Tell!', Say 'No, and Go Tell!'
chorus
If I'm scared I just say 'No, and Go Tell!'
If I'm scared I just say 'No, and Go Tell!
If I'm afraid I just say 'No, and Go Tell!
and help will, come to me (repeat)
Help will come to me, oh yeah, Help will come to me, alright, Help will come to me, oh yeah

See you there!
"an energetic performer...pop with inventive and fun lyrics that involve listeners...Daycares and kindergarten classrooms will find it a good pick-me-upper."
ReplySome of the most uplifting highly energetic children's music I have heard!
ReplyYou will start off tapping your toe, snapping your fingers then, clapping your hands and finally before you know it you will be dancing the day away. I speak from experience having had this happen to me at one Dan's performances during Week of the Child.
Make a Bridge has some of the most uplifting highly energetic children's music I have heard. The songs have creative fun lyrics that involve everyone who listens. I know children that bath with Dan's CD playing in the bathroom, children that play it while they're going to sleep. I have a friend who listens to Make a Bridge in the car whether her children are with her or not!
Make a Bridge is the kind of music that energizes you on rainy days or during those grey days of winter. Make a Bridge is a CD that should be added to music collections in child care centres, schools and homes.
Performed brilliantly by popular children's entertainer and recording artist Dan the Music Man.
ReplyKidSURE Safety Neighbourhood is a definite hit with the kids.
Impressed by both the original songs and the production values!
ReplyReally enjoyed the albums and was quite impressed by both the original songs and the production values. With that in mind, I’ll start spinning a few of the tracks, specifically “Alphabet Soup”, “Roller Coaster” and “Monkey Time” beginning this week.
