Never, Never Play With Matches

by Dean Friedman


Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never play with matches!
Why do we make such a fuss? ‘Cause matches can be dangerous, so, just remember that you must… never, never play with matches

There once was a girl named named, Joan,
Who lived in a very nice home.
She struck a match just for a joke
And her house went up in smoke.

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never play with matches!
Why do we make such a fuss? ‘Cause matches can be dangerous! So, just remember that you must… never, never play with matches

There once was a boy named, James,
Who liked to play with flames.
The fire spread to the nearby woods,
And burned up his whole neighborhood!

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never play with matches!
Why do we make such a fuss? ‘Cause matches can be dangerous! So, just remember that you must… never, never play with matches

There once was a girl named, Laverne,
Who liked to watch things burn.
She dropped a match on the kitchen floor
And now she is no more. Aww…

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never play with matches!
Why do we make such a fuss? ‘Cause matches can be dangerous! So, just remember that you must… never, never play with matches

Since then, hits like Lucky Stars, Lydia, Rocking Chair, McDonald’s Girl and Woman of Mine have earned him a loyal international following, devoted to his work as a master songsmith and performer. ... more
