Stop before you go, right now
you'll get hurt and that's for sure
look before you leap, I say
to prevent is better than have it to cure
open your eyes and see, mmm
observantly, you will understand
so easy will you go, ah ah ah
can't you see what 's going on
way over younder
where the gooses gander
running to and fro
thinking that everything a fit
they never stop to look
but soon they'll fall in a bottomless pit
I'm referring to mankind, yeah
Stop before you go, right now
you'll get hurt and that's for sure
look before you leap, I say
to prevent is better than have it to cure
Measure twice and cut once
by doing so you can't go wrong
it's better to be locked away in a cave
than to be an oppressor's slave
they work you down to the grave
they'll give you a 6 for a 9
watch your step, I say, mankind
Stop before .....
