Sister gets out early
From school
It's true
She heads straight to her locker
Ignores all the talkers
She's got work to do
She's out the door
To the end of the block
Just as fast as she can
And at the traffic light
My sister's a sight
Cause that's where she stands
When she stretches out her arms
Well she's a yellow reflector with a badge on the top
When she stretches out her arms
Well everyone stops
She's a student crossing guard
Then when the bell rings
It's easy to tell things
Are gonna be fine
Though some kids are just startin'
Half taken to guardin'
They're all in a line
And when the light turns green
They all know what it means
But we wait for that sign
Cause we know we can't cross
And my sister's the boss
Til' she lowers her arms
But when she stretches out her arms
Well she's a yellow reflector with a badge on the top
When she stretches out her arms
Well everyone stops
She's a student crossing guard
Now sister and me
We fuss and we fight
Like anyone else
But when she's in her yellow reflector
She's like the perfect protector
When she puts down her arms
Everyone knows
It's time to go
So you know that I told her
That when she gets older
She might wanna be
Providing protection
At big intersections
In New York City
Still there's no doubt
She'll be watching out
In whatever she does
She says next year for sure
She'll be milk monitor
Her teacher asked her because
When she stretches out her arms
Well she's a yellow reflector with a badge on the top
When she stretches out her arms
Well everyone stops
She's a student crossing guard
And all the kids are singing
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba
And when she puts down her arms
Everyone knows it's time to go
