Check The Backseat

[Intro] [bright electric guitar riff, driving drums] (Rappa-pappa-pa-ya-ya-yo!) [Verse 1] [bass and drums continue, palm-muted guitar] Pull up to camp, take it slow Open the door, but don't you go Look in the back seat, head to toe That's the first check, now you know Little ones sleep, they get quiet fast Do the back seat check, make it last Before you jump out, before you race One more look in every space [Pre-Chorus] [group shout vocals] Hey! Ho! Don't skip the seat Make it a habit, quick and easy See the child before you leave Then breathe in, breathe in! [Chorus] [full band, brass stabs] Check the back seat! Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! Don't drive away till you look that way Water, water, sippin' it now Keep those campers safe somehow Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! (Rappa-pappa-pa-ya-ya-yo!) [Verse 2] [rhythmic electric guitar] Sun on the lot and the campers run Hot day rules, but the fun's not done Bottle in hand, let the water flow Take a few sips, then we go Parents, aunties, uncles too This one simple thing can save a crew Park, pause, check, then step on out That's what camp safety's all about [Pre-Chorus] [group shout vocals] Hey! Ho! Don't skip the seat Make it a habit, quick and easy See the child before you leave Then breathe in, breathe in! [Chorus] [full band, driving rhythm] Check the back seat! Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! Don't drive away till you look that way Water, water, sippin' it now Keep those campers safe somehow Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! (Rappa-pappa-pa-ya-ya-yo!) [Bridge] [rhythmic stops, drum fills] One look, two looks, turn around Hands on the door, eyes scan down Cool the kids and cool the day Water first, then on your way [Chorus] [high energy, brass accents] Check the back seat! Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! Don't drive away till you look that way Water, water, sippin' it now Keep those campers safe somehow Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! Check the back seat! Hey! (Rappa-pappa-pa-ya-ya-yo!) [Outro] [final guitar chord, cymbal crash] Check the back seat! Hey!
