This song is available on J.W. Snyder's Songs From the Blue Chair
 

An action song that sings about the rule of raising one's hand in the classroom, in a rock and roll style that also uses a detractor of "a monster coming down the hall" that kids love. It includes a section where the kids can do some free-style dancing. A good follow up to a lesson on "raising the hand"

(Spoken)
Now in the classroom there’s something you gotta do.
So here’s a song written just for you.

The rule of the classroom is raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!
So we can work together, raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!

If you have a belly ache way down inside,
Hold that hand up way up in the sky!

And if you see a monster comin’ down the hall,
Runaway, runaway, one and all!

If you have a question, raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!
And if you know the answer, raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!

If you have to go and can’t hold it any more,
Hold that hand up and let them know what it’s for.
And if you see a monster still walkin’ ‘round the hall, Runaway!


Instrumental (Dance time!)


If you have a belly ache way down inside,
Hold that hand up way up in the sky.
Here comes that Monster again walkin’ down the hall!
Runaway, runaway, one and all!

If you have a question, raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!

And if you know the answer, raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!

The rule of the classroom is raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!

And if you want a snack now, raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!

And if you want to go outside, raise your hand!
Raise your hand! Raise your hand!
