Every time you’re in a car
If you wanna get dessert
When you’re goin’ down a slide
It’s important that you know

If you wanna stay safe
Then you’ve gotta be good
Try a new dance out
‘Cause sometimes you just need to

Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt, butt

Let me be straight and tell you what it’s all about
You’ve got to behave day in and day out
Shakin’ and twistin’ can be unsafe
Sometimes you’ve got to keep yourself in just one place

Just sit still when your parents tell you to
And stop hoppin’ around like a little kangaroo
They’re not bein’ mean, and it’s not unfair
At times it’s better if you’re on your derriere

So just sit on your butt
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt, butt

Now I’ll break it down in an old school way
You shouldn’t sit on your bum all day
But after you come inside from play
You’ve got to listen up to what your parents have to say

They’re thinking about the terrible things they have to avert
Like slipping and falling off of your chair and having you getting hurt
So rather than waiting and having to jump to make a diving save
You can make it a whole lot easier by learning to behave

And just sit on your butt
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt, butt

Excuse me!
May I have your attention please?

Now, if I may, Alex — I need some time
To interrupt you for a bit with my own rhyme
I don’t want to sound like I’m being a prude
But being so crude can seem a little bit rude

You shouldn’t say “butt” when you could say “posterior”
Or “behind” or “bottom” or “tooshie” or “rear”
You can say the same thing with a little bit of class
So if you want to be polite, say, say, say

Please sit down
Please sit down
Please sit down
Please sit down
Say please sit down
Please sit down
Please sit down
Please sit down

Or just sit on your butt!
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt
Sit on your butt, butt

No matter how you say it
Make it a game and then just play it
Like a rule, you must obey it
I don’t know how else I can say it
