Tattle Questions

Chorus:
Don’t tattle
Don’t tattle
Don’t tattle
Don’t tattle.. Ohhhhhhh
If you’re not sure if you’re tattling, ask these questions, then you’ll see

Verse 1:
Question #1…
Do I need to tell the teacher right now,
Or can I save it for another time?
You see, some things are emergencies,
But others can wait.
Do you catch my rhyme?

Verse 2:
Question #2:
Is somebody in danger?
Are they hurt physically?
Or did somebody hurt their feelings,
And hurt them emotionally?
You see, if a kid gets hurt in their body or their heart, you need to be their friend.
Tell the teacher that someone was hurtful,
And you won’t be tattlin’.

Verse 3:
Here comes question #3…
Is this problem MY business,
Or am I being a nosy kid?
Did the problem have to do with me,
Or am I trying to be in charge of what my neighbors did?

Verse 4:
Question 4…
Am I trying to help or hurt
Is a question you should ask.
Am I trying to help a situation
Or get a kid in trouble like a brat?

Ending:
Do I need tell the teacher right now?
Is somebody in danger?
Is this problem my business?
Am I trying to help?
