Lyrics

D is for Dumb. It's dumb to take drugs.
R is for Rip-Off from cash-hungry thugs.
U is for Ugly, drug dirt in your heart. But
G is for Good if you never will start.
S is for Sure of the right thing to do.
I will NEVER take drugs,
And neither will you!

Pretty quirky. I love it with the 3/4 waltz time. Really good and I hope kids will hear this! I like the violin.

A great way to make a lesson stick in the minds of the youngsters is to put it all into a tune. And a good tune to boot. Great work with a tune who's message will out last the length of the song!

Another good children's song - this is a sweet one and a witty one. Great melody and great children's voices. Keep them coming. The children who work with you must love your songs and you, and the chance to sing your songs with you.
