Take yourself off automatic,

think, think, think, think, think.

Angry, frightened or excited, you still need to think.
Your brain must tell you how to act, and not your feelings that's a fact.

First I wrecked my brand new bike, then I hurt my thumb.

Then I was late to music class. Maybe I'm just dumb.

Now here I am, I'm all upset. My face is one big frown.

I know that trouble's on the way, but how do I calm down?

Take yourself off automatic,

think, think, think, think, think.

Angry, frightened or excited, you still need to think.

Your brain must tell you how to act, and not your feelings that's a fact.

There I was out playing tag, with Ernie, Joe and Sue.

Another kid came running up and said, "Can I play too?"

Things were fine 'till he got "tagged", he really lost his cool.

Then I told him of a plan that helps at home or school.

Take yourself off automatic, think, think, think, think, think.

Angry, frightened or excited, you still need to think.

Your brain must tell you how to act, and not your feelings

that's a fact. Take yourself off automatic.

So as you grow from young to old, the things you learn each day

Can help you all throughout your life when you're at work or play.

Remember that you make a choice about the way you act.

So, sing this song, it's not too long. It helps me. That's a fact.

Take yourself off automatic, think, think, think, think, think.

Angry, frightened or excited, you still need to think.

Your brain must tell you how to act, and not your feelings
