[Lyrics] [Intro – Ringmaster (Daniel, playful warning)] Step right up—watch it go! Money fast… then gone—oh no! Noah, wait—don’t lose it all… Let’s not take that kind of fall! ⸻ [Verse – Daniel + Noah] Noah: I got money! Let’s go buy! Daniel: Hold on—don’t let it fly. Noah: Candy here and toys right there! Daniel: Slow it down—let’s be aware. Noah: I can spend it all today! Daniel: Then tomorrow? Gone away… Carmen (smooth, guiding): Fast today can mean “no more”… Think about what comes in store. ⸻ [Chorus – All (BIG + catchy)] Don’t spend it all! Don’t spend it fast! Clap your hands—make it last! (clap clap) Keep a little, let it stay— You’ll be glad another day! Don’t spend it all! Take your time! Stomp your feet—stay in line! (stomp stomp) Some for now and some for later— That’s how smart kids get greater! ⸻ [Verse – Daniel + Noah] Daniel: If it’s gone, it won’t come back… That’s a tough and simple fact. Noah: So I save a little too? Daniel: That’s the smartest thing to do! Noah: Not too fast, not all at once? Daniel: That’s how you don’t end up stuck! Carmen: Balance first, don’t go too far… That’s how strong decisions are. ⸻ [Chorus – All] Don’t spend it all! Don’t spend it fast! Clap your hands—make it last! (clap clap) Keep a little, let it stay— You’ll be glad another day! Don’t spend it all! Take your time! Spin around—stay in line! (spin!) Some for now and some for later— That’s how smart kids get greater! ⸻ [Bridge – Call & Response (fun + rhythmic)] Daniel: Spend it all? Noah: No no no! Daniel: Save some too? Noah: Yes we do! Daniel: Fast or slow? Noah: Nice and slow! Daniel: That’s the way? Noah: That’s the flow! Carmen (firm, calm): Think ahead and make it last… Don’t let good money move too fast. ⸻ [Chorus – Final] Don’t spend it all! Don’t spend it fast! Clap your hands—make it last! (clap clap) Keep a little, let it stay— You’ll be glad another day! Don’t spend it all! Take your time! Jump up high—stay in line! (jump!) Some for now and some for later— That’s how smart kids get greater! ⸻ [Outro – Spoken Female (Carmen)] Kids… if you hear circus music playing, that means the Ringmaster is busy… teaching money in a different way. Now go to bed… and let it grow.
