lyrics

Walk Straight Home
by Dean Friedman

Well, this is the story of a boy named Ted.
He didn’t listen to what his Mommy said.
She said, “Ted, don’t be a fool.
Walk straight home when you leave from school.”

Ted said, “Hey, I’m 10 years old.
I don’t have to do what I am told.
I want to play with my good friend Eddie
and I’ll go home when I’m good and ready.

So, Ted started walking down the street
When a strange man he did meet.
And the stranger said, “Hey, can I give you a ride?
My car’s right here. Just hop inside.”

Now this is what Ted should have said: He should have said,
“No! And then gone straight home instead. But,
Ted was being really dumb. And he climbed inside,
When what he should have done was run!

Now, Ted’s been missing since that day.
Where he’s gone, no one can say.
Because people are kind, but some are cruel.
So walk straight home when you leave from school.

This is the story of a boy named Ted.
He didn’t listen to what his Mommy said.
She said, “Ted, don’t be a fool.
Walk straight home when you leave from school.”
Walk straight home when you leave from school.”
