Lyrics
The kitchen is the room
Where we find good things to eat
But did you know it can be risky
Just to get a treat
Yeah, just to get a treat
There are dangers all around
But if you know where to look
You can help yourself be safe
And help protect the cook
Yeah, help protect the cook
Some things you may not see at first
Like burners that are hot
And boiling water’s really bad
If it falls out of the pot
If it falls out of the pot
You may not know the stove’s still hot
The burner isn’t red
But it takes time to cool it down
You need to use your head
Yes, you need to use your head
Keep handles on the pots you use
Pointing away from you
And never over the edge in front
‘Cause they could fall on you
Yeah, they could fall on you
Be sure to tell the cook
To watch out for her clothes
They can catch on fire so quick
And burn her, goodness knows
And burn her, goodness knows
Keep a fire extinguisher close
Your parents can be the ones
To put a little fire out
Or just call 911
Yes, just call 911
So just remember what we say
And when your folks aren’t home
Use only things they say you can
To be safe when you’re alone
Yeah, be safe when you’re alone
The kitchen is the room
Where we find good things to eat
But did you know it can be risky
Just to get a treat
Yeah, just to get a treat
