Soon you will find
There are choices to be made that will decide
The future of you.
So be sure to take your time and seek advice.
When little chums disregard their mums and sneak out in the night,
Inform them you can't tag along,
Hang up and then sleep tight.
If snidely chided of piercings or to tattoo nubile flesh:
Tell them no.
Tell them no.
Stars in the sky
Shine much brighter when reflected in your eye.
Avoid any trap
That’ll cause a pregnant pause or backward step.
Perhaps they'll proffer cigarettes or methamphetamine.
Kindly reply that if you die you won't live thru your teens.
If invited to guzzle pints then to race on motorbikes:
Tell them no.
Tell them no.
Tell them no, no, no, little girl!
Should they say
"Let's run away and sleep beneath the moon."
Fake a cough then gently scoff while exiting the room.
Supposing they try to pat your heinie or enroll you in a cult,
Tell them no.
Tell them no.
Tell them no, no, no, little girl.
Tell them no, no, no, no, no, pretty girl.
