LYRIC
DON’T TALK TO STRANGERS- Sung & Composed By Country Yossi- Count Your Blessings
Don’t talk to strangers
No matter what they say
If they call you over
Quickly walk away
Don’t take their candy
Don’t take a ride
Oh no-Don’t go!
Don’t talk to strangers
If they wanna chat
Even if they’re wearing
Tzitzis and a hat
Don’t let them touch you
Or take you aside
Oh no-Don’t go!
CHORUS 1:
Don’t go far
Stay close to home
And when you are
All alone and you’re afraid
Pick up the phone
And just dial 911.
Tell them your name
And your address, then
Try to explain
Why you’re distressed
And don’t be ashamed
To tell them what was done.
Don’t talk to strangers
If you lose your way
Stop and ask directions
From a woman, it’s ok
Go into a store, but
Don’t go into a home
Oh no-Don’t go!
Don’t talk to strangers
Even on the phone
Never ever tell them
Your parents aren’t home
If someone rings your doorbell
Never let them in
Oh no-Oh no!
CHORUS 2:
Don’t be shy
If you’re in trouble
Gib ah gishrai
For help on the double
Someone will hear
And they’ll come on the run.
Tell them your name
And your address, then
Try to explain
Why you’re distressed
And don’t be ashamed
To tell them what was done.
Don’t talk to strangers
Now you know the rules
But you still must be careful
In your Shteeble and your schools
Even friends and family
Sometimes can be cruel
Oh no-Don’t go!
If somebody you trusted
Is making you feel blue
Tell Mommy or your Totty
They’ll know what to do
If you feel uncomfortable
With someone close to you
Oh no-Don’t go!
CHORUS 3:
No one’s allowed
To grab or clutch you
You can stand proud
Don’t let him touch you
Just walk away
And if you have to, run.
Don’t be shy
If you’re in trouble
Gib ah gishrai
For help on the double
And don’t be ashamed
To tell them what was done.
