No Go Tell
Chorus:
No! Go! Tell! (4x)
If trouble comes along you remember this song.
Shout, "No!" then go, and tell.
Shout, "No!" if someone's treating you wrong.
Shout, "No!" if you don't want to go along.
Shout, "No!" if it just doesn't feel right.
Shout, "No!" you don't have to be polite.
Think about it right now - what are some ways to say no?
(During the musical break, let kids make suggestions - "No way"
"Back off" "Leave me alone" etc.)
Chorus
Then go - if there's no reason to stay.
Just go - let your feet take you away.
Just go - like you're running a race.
Go, go - to a familiar safe place.
Think about it right now - where are some places you could go?
("A friend's house" "School" "Police station" etc.)
Chorus
And tell - there's no need to keep it in.
Just tell - so they won't do it again.
Just tell - you know you're not the one to blame.
So tell - don't be embarrassed or ashamed.
Think about it right now - who are some people you could tell?
("Parents" "Teacher" "Counselor" etc.)
