Content  -  A song about the danger of doing everything in a rush!  Children love the use of different tempos in this song, which has a speedy verse and a contrasting laid-back chorus.  Wonderful for reinforcing school rules about running in corridors etc., as this song has a way of getting stuck in children’s heads!

Lyrics sample

There’s a girl who never waits,

Goes so fast she makes mistakes.

She goes at the speed of light!

Never gets things right.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, rush, rush, rush!

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, rush, rush, rush!

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, rush, rush, rush

Every single day! Phew!

Hold on! Slow down!

See if you know how!

Hold on! Slow down!

Take your time.
