road safety rhyme

(to be sung to the tune of ‘Row, row, row your boat’)

Ride, ride, ride your bike

gently down the road

wear it, wear it, wear it, wear it,

helmet is not a load!

Drive, drive, drive your car

gently up the slope

strap it, strap it, strap it, strap it,

seat belt is safety rope!

Ferry, ferry, ferry your bus

gently by the school

carefully, carefully, carefully, carefully,

Don’t be a killer tool!

Run, run, run your truck

gently round the curve 

steadily, steadily, steadily, steadily,

don’t crash after the swerve!

Move, move, move along

gently down the lane

safely, safely, safely, safely,

life needs no needless pain!
