Don't even think about it if you can't swim
Take yourself some lessons and come back again
Feet first first time when you are diving in
Don't monkey around or push or pull on a friend

Chorus

Never leave your child in a tub alone
At the pool keep near a telephone
Learn CPR just like your ABC's
Some more hints just listen to me
When out on a boat wear a flotation device
At the pool a ring buoy or long pole is my advice
Don't swim in areas that are not supervised
Better safe than sorry you don't need no surprise

Chorus

Watch your child closely the best way to prevent
Keep yourself from dealing with a tragic event
T™wo inches of water is all that it takes
Just a few seconds and trouble it makes
Repeat last verse
