Newsflash- Children's Safety Song Announced

Here at YHNH we are very concerned about the safety of our children. I say "our" children but by that I mean the children of society. We don't really know where children come from, but we hear it is icky and involves travelling to York, Norwich or Lincoln, none of which we particularly want to do.

As people who are deeply interested in the wellbeing of children we are glad to know that a new safety song is winging it's way to all PSE, PSHCE, and sports science co-coordinators at every primary school in the country. Permission has finally been granted by the author to distribute the song and the band created to record it (cunningly named Buffalo Mozzarella) managed to knock it out between Cash in the Attic and Doctors.

In order to improve child safety, we feel it necessary to repeat the words to the song on the site:
"There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a sign over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sign?
Everybody look what's going down

There's double lines being drawn
Looking right for every look to left
Young people crossing their roads
Getting so much help, from the crossing guard

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sign?
Everybody look what's going down

What a sports-day for the heat
A thousand kids in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our feet

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sign?
Everybody look (twice at) what's going down

Motorcycles strikes deep
Into your chest cavity it will creep
It starts when you're never afraid
You step off the side, the men come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sign?
Everybody look (twice) what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sign?
Everybody look (twice) what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sign?
Everybody look (three times if necessary) what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sign?
Everybody look (look, then look again) what's going down"

Children will then be given a choice of colouring in a picture of
Albert Camus or writing a short biography of Linda Lovelace,
covering her life's work and eventual demise in 200 words and
up to one picture.
