FIRST YOU WORK THEN YOU PLAY

(Theme song for the book "No Longer A Dilly Dally") by Sarah Moore ©2003 Advance Global Publishing/BMI

Chorus

First you work, then you play 
Don’t “dilly dally” away your day 
Be prepared, here’s the way 
First you work, then you play

Verse 1

The “dilly dally” says there’s still time 
He plays all day in the bright sunshine 
But in the winter he’s cold and hungry 
He wishes he had listened to our rhyme

Verse 2

It gives you a sense of pride
To get the job done, working side by side 
We’ll be ready whatever comes 
And have fun when we get the order right

Spanish Shout

First trabaja! / Then tú juegas!

Spanish Chorus

First trabaja! / Then tú juegas!  
Don’t “dilly dally” away your day 
Be prepared, here’s the way 
First you work, then you play
