Respect Your Body
Be a Good Sport

Respect Your Body

REFRAIN:

Respect your body, respect your self;

respect your brain and your muscles and your health.

You gotta do what's right.

Make good choices too.

Every day…every day of your life.

 

Verse 1: Verse 2:

So, what exactly is it that makes a choice 'good'? So what exactly is it that makes a choice 'bad'?

Think of someone you know, who is really smart &endash; These are the choices that can hurt you and others.

would they approve? Do YOU approve? These are the choices that can get you in trouble.

Think about the situation deep in your heart. Think about the situation deep in your heart.

Are you going to feel good about it tomorrow? Are you going to feel good about it tomorrow?

spoken: and the next day and the next day spoken: and the next day and the next day

and the next day and the next… and the next day and the next…

(refrain) (refrain)

We're learning the rules and following them, too.

'Cuz we're good sports…at school.
