TRUE STORIES ALL – A Talking SongCHORUS
O Go tell it in the classroom
Straight out to the kids, they need to know
Go tell it in the classroom
Safe sex – the only way to go!
1) The first time I got pregnant (Oh?)
I was just seventeen (She wasn’t ready)
But I didn’t know what caused it (Whatta WASTE!)
So it happened once again (She didn’t know)
CHORUS
2) I was thirteen the first time (Lots start then)
I had a baby boy (You were BOTH kids)
And then I had another (Didn’t the guy know?)
They weren’t a lot of joy! (You had no money)
CHORUS
3) If somebody had told me (Books don’t do it)
The real facts of sex (so you could question)
I would’ve had a chance to live (Disease, it got you)
The life that others live (She need info)
CHORUS
4) Disease is all around us (Let’s fight it)
Hormones make sex seem fine (Deaf to reason)
Abstinence seldom happens (Raging hormones)
So let’s learn to walk that line (You can keep safe)
CHORUS
