You can fall out of your window
You can fall out of a tree
Scrape your elbow, stub your toe
Or trip and skin your knee
You might slip in your bath tub
You might step on your rake
Catch your finger in a door
Or get bitten by a snake

So many ways to hurt yourself
So many ways to fall
Off a bike or off a sled
Or running down the hall
You might trip on your shoelace
You might fall from your bed
You might walk right into a door
And bang your little head

Watch out for boiling water
Watch out for for the frozen lake
Watch out for floods and famine
And don’t choke on your steak
There are hurricanes and lightning
And bad stuff in the air
You can get stung by a bumbnle bee
Or eaten by a bear

There's danger everywhere you turn
You must learn to survive
You always have to take a chance and
Feel lucky to be alive
Lucky to be alive
