Little one little one why can’t you see
Little one little one why can’t you see
Respect is a gift to you and to me
Respect has you listen when teachers teach
Respect builds respect with each little step
Respect is a gift that builds education
The gift of that knowledge can build a vocation
Yet sometimes kids argue yell and complain
Without listening ears no knowledge, they gain
If you cannot read and if you cannot write
The jobs of tomorrow remain out of sight
If you cannot write no resume written
Employers don’t take the kids that don’t listen
