Road Safety Song
Stayin’ Alive:
Well you can tell by the way I cross the road
That I’ve learnt all my Green Cross Code
Find a place where you can see
And then you can cross easily
And now it’s alright
It’s OK
Make sure you have looked both ways And
When it’s clear, nothing’s to fear
When you use your eyes and ears
Whether it’s the country
Or whether it’s the city
You’re staying alive
Staying alive
Whenever you’re a crossin’
Just stop, look and listen
And we’re staying alive
Staying alive
Ah ah ah ah staying ali-i-i-i-i-ve
