STRUT YOUR STUFF
When the road gets bumpy
Like the back of a toad
An y’feel like Humpty Dumpty,
Like a camel with a load
When your shoulders start t’slump
And y’wish you’d stayed in bed
Then ev’rybody picks on you
Cause you’re hanging down your head
Well c’mon an’ pump it up!
If your attitude is rough
Jus’ get up off your rump
And strut your stuff!
Strut your stuff! Everybody sees it!
Strut your stuff! You know how t’move
Strut your stuff! Everybody feels it!
Strut your stuff! You’re in the groove!
Hey, now you’re lookin good!
Your head’s up high!
Got a bounce in your step,
Got a sparkle in your eye!
You believe y’got the power, yeah!
You know where it’s at!
No one’s gonna bother you
When y’walk like that!
Chorus

BACK-UP!
One day hikin’ in the hills E-(A-E)
Practicin’ my scoutin’ skills E-(A-E)
Whoa! This big snake crossed my track E-(A-E)
So I said t’myself, “Hey Self, ... get back!” E-(A-E)
Cho: Back-up! (Back-up!) Back-up! (Back-up!) E-(A-E)/ E-E-(A-E)
You won’t crack-up if you back-up! D9-A
Back-up! (Back-up!) Back-up! (Back-up!) E-(A-E)/ E-E-(A-E)
Give yourself some slack and just “Get back!” D9-A
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, Back-up! (Back-up!) E-(A-E)
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, Back-up! (Back-up!) E-(A-E)
Sometimes Dad drives much too fast
And I’m afraid that we might crash
So I say, “Dad, now please don’t frown
When I’m scared, I gotta speak-up, SLOW DOWN!!”
Chorus
My Uncle Dave, he sings to me
And sometimes I sit on his knee
But then he starts to pet my hair
So I say, “Would you please STOP petting my hair?
I am NOT a dog or a cat or a fluffy little bunny!
And even though I LIKE you very much,
I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT!!!
Thank you for listening.
Chorus
So if by accident you find A
You get too close, you can change your mind E
Or if somebody gets too close to you A
Just say, “Back-up!” that’s the thing to do! F#-B7
Chorus/Instumental
When someone’s actin’ all syrupy sweet
They sit so close you can smell their feet
And they ooze up t’you like a greasy cat
Y’don’t have t’act nice, when it feels like that!
Chorus (2x)
Ad libs ( If it’s not your choice, then use your voice!) - (Save yourself some flack, and just get back!)

COURAGE
When the bull fighter faces the bull, he’s so scared D-A
Wishing he was somewhere else, and a little bit better prepared! A7-D
But he knows in his mind, that to face that big cow D-D7-
Somehow he must find G-Em
Chorus: Courage! Courage! Deep down inside of you, courage! D-A7-G-Em-D
(Repeat)
Kid: Well you’re a grown-up, so you don’t ever get scared!
Peter: Grown-ups get scared too sometimes!
Kid: But there’s this big kid at school who picks on us other kids.
Peter: Hey, big guys can fool you. One time I was walking home late at night, and I passed by this
graveyard right near my house. Well I heard footsteps following me. They were getting
closer and closer. So I went a little faster and the footsteps went a little faster too. I looked
behind me, and there was this really, really big dude following me, and I got scared, so I
was gonna cut through the graveyard to get away from him, but it was soooo dark in there
that I just stood there frozen! He came right up behind me and stopped too, and I thought
to myself, (music stops) Uh-oh! (music starts again) but I found some courage way down
deep inside me and I turned around to face him. He was BIG! He had muscles on his
muscles, and he was ugly with a mean looking mouth and kind of crooked lips! And he was
staring at me with big wide eyes, then all of a sudden, he looks at the graveyard and says to
me, (music stops)
Dude: I ain’t goin’ in there either! It’s really dark in there! (music starts again)
Peter: So we walked each other home and had a pretty good time. So big guys can fool you!
When a bully comes near and fills you with fear,
And your heart starts to beat
Don’t call him bad names, that’s not courage,
It’s stupidity!
First try being friendly, if that doesn’t work,
Then simply repeat,
Chorus: “GET ME OUT OF HERE, FEET!” Courage!
Deep down inside of you, courage!
Courage! Courage! Deep down inside of you, courage!
Courage and speed! That’s what you need! Have courage!
Yes, keep a good distance & call for assistance, have courage!
If he’s a big tough guy, try picking your nose
Tough guys don’t like boogers, they’re scared of those!
Chorus: Courage! Courage! Deep down inside of you, courage!
Courage! Courage! Deep down inside of you, courage!

STRANGERS
If a great big ugly guy walks by
While you are playing in your yard
And he sez “Hey Little Kid! You want a
Stick of gum or a cho’late bar?
Would you take it from him? NOOOOOO!
What if it’s your favorite? NOOOOOO!
What if he has ice cream? NOOOOOO!
And we know why!
Chorus
Cause he’s a stranger!
Someone we don’t know!
He’s a stranger, he might be nice, but even so
We follow safe advice
So t’strangers we say, NOOOOOO!
If a pretty lady’s at your door
She rings your bell, you’re home alone
And she says, “Hey Little Kid! I’m lost!
Please let me in to use your phone!
Would you let her in? NOOOOOO!
What if she is smiling? NOOOOOO!
What if she looks like a movie star? NOOOOOO!
What if she says she’d been lost for forty-two days
and hasn’t had anything to eat in two weeks
and she needs a great lookin’ little kid like you
to save her life, so please, pleeeease open up this door
RIGHT NOW! Would you do it? NOOOOOO!
And we know why!
Cause she’s a stranger!
Someone we don’t know!
She’s a stranger,
She might be nice, but even so
We follow safe advice
So t’strangers we say, NOOOOOO!
Now LET me get this straight, a stranger’s
ANYONE I don’t know, so I
SHOULDN’T talk to strangers or go
OFF alone with someone who I
DON’T know because strangers are not
ALWAYS ugly looking sometimes
THEY act nice and friendly but they’re
STILL a stranger even if I
THINK I might have seen them I should
NEVER let them get too close
and we know why!
Cause they’re a stranger!
Someone we don’t know!
They’re a stranger,
They might be nice, and even so
We follow safe advice,
So t’strangers we say NOOOOOO!
To strangers we say NOOOOOO!
To strangers we say NOOOOOO!
