| You’re so excited inside, like something you can’t hide.
|
| You wanna wiggle and jiggle and squirm.
|
| But there’s a time and place to show your silly face.
|
| It’s not the time for a worm.
|
| In the library where the people like to read,
|
| And everything seems so still.
|
| If you scream and shout, there won’t be any doubt.
|
| They will think there’s a fire drill.
|
| So, tap your knees, shake your hands,
|
| Try to rest your mind as best you can.
|
| Tap your toes, patience grows, wiggle your fingers.
|
| And breathe.
|
| In the classroom where the teacher’s trying to teach.
|
| And the kids are trying to think.
|
| If you jump up and down and you act like a clown,
|
| All the lessons will go down the sink.
|
| So, tap your knees, shake your hands,
|
| Try to rest your mind as best you can.
|
| Tap your toes, patience grows, wiggle your fingers.
|
| And breathe.
|
| In a shop or store where the parents
|
| Buy more food so we can eat.
|
| If you run around, you may get lost in the town.
|
| And you may get stuck in the street.
|
| So, tap your knees, shake your hands,
|
| Try to rest your mind as best you can.
|
| Tap your toes, patience grows, wiggle your fingers.
|
| And breathe.
|
| You’re so excited inside, the rules are hard to apply.
|
| Remember the words of this song.
|
| There’s a time and place to show your silly face.
|
| Respect will follow along.
|
| So, tap your knees, shake your hands,
|
| Try to rest your mind as best you can.
|
| Tap your toes, patience grows, wiggle your fingers.
|
| And breathe. |
