This song teaches the responsibility is "doing what you are supposed to do." It emphasizes following through with tasks when we are asked to complete them.

Intro: Students who follow through on things demonstrate responsibility.
Chorus:
Come on, do what you’re supposed to do
Responsibility is following through! (Repeat 2x)
Verse 1:
So you’re sitting at your school desk,
And it’s time to put things away
You know where to put that pencil box,
But you’d rather dilly-dally and play
Now if you’re really responsible,
You’ll do what needs to be done
Stick that pencil box in your desk
Taking care of things can be fun!
Verse 2:
So you’ve just arrived at school
With your teeny-bopper backpack and more
When all of a sudden, you get really lazy
And chuck your backpack on the floor
Now, you know it belongs on the hook,
So you place it where it goes
Doing your morning jobs is responsible
Everybody knows!
Verse 3:
So your teacher gave you a permission slip
You’re supposed to have it signed
But getting that thing home, or signed
Is the last thing on your mind
But then you have a change of heart
You bring it in, signed in your folder
Certainly you’re getting more responsible every day you grow older
Verse 4:
So it’s time to do your work,
Are you a dependable girl or guy?
No, you scribbled on your paper
Or you were lazy, or didn’t even try
But then you get to thinking…
Take your time and do your best.
Hand in your neatest work
Be responsible when put to the test.
