KIDS SHOULDN’T SMOKE
Kids don’t do it
It’s really, really BAD
It causes yellow teeth
If you do it, you’ll wish you never had
You’ll have bad breath
Your way to young
It’s gross
You’ll hate it
You won’t see your grandchildren
How bad would that be?
Oh come on can’t you see it’s bad for you and me
Cancers and problems
You don’t want that
Do you need that satisfaction?
Please you need your life right now
You’re so, so young!
Trust me it’s not that fun…….

I CAN SING
I can sing, I can play
I will see another day
I don’t smoke, I don’t puff
I’m telling you now it’s not a bluff
Don’t spend your money on the smoke
Don’t spend your money or you’ll be broke
My lungs are great, healthy and pink
My brain’s okay, I can think
Strokes, dizziness not for me
I’m as healthy as I can be
So…….
I can sing, I can play
I will see another day.

Why should I or you be a smoke free kid?
Well, if you should decide to open a lid,
Of any product with tobacco,
Call it throwing money out the window,
At almost $3,000 a year for a pack a day,
You’re getting closer to throwing all your money away!
First, the nasty sight of wrinkles and smell,
Of your rotting breath, I’m sure it will sell,
At any Prom Date, Oh No!
Next, my friend comes cancer abroad,
Oh, did I mention emphysema, the little condition,
Were you’re stuck to breathing a tank strapped on?
Now, my friend, before you make your bid,
Consider, what good is being a smoke free kid?

Smoking is bad
Smoking is bad
Many people die from smoking
Often leads to emphysema
Kills a lot of people
I don’t smoke
Nobody should smoke
Gives asthma

Don’t Smoke
You shouldn’t smoke because you think it’s cool
It’ll make you sit there and drool
You could lay in a hospital bed
I hope you listen to what I said
If you smoke you’re a fool

Don’t Smoke!
Smoking is bad for you
It will make you look old
How are you going to get a date
When you look like rust, old mold.
It can also kill you,
So you won’t be able to chill,
Instead you’ll be ill,
So you need to stop,
So you can shop and be
happy forever.
