This song is available on Jack Hartmann's Getting Better at Getting Along.
There is something you can give to others
and others can give to you.
There is something you can give to yourself
and you’ll feel so proud too.
It’s not a toy or a teddy bear
it comes from you and me
It’s a special thing everyone can feel
Let’s spell it and I think you’ll see
After me say, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, for you and me.
What’s the word ?
RESPECT,
What’s the word?
RESPECT
It’s so important that you do, RESPECT yourself and others too
It’s so important that you do, RESPECT yourself and others too
You can share respect each day and do you know it’s true
Young or old, big or small and every color too
People all around the world like to share RESPECT
Respect for how we feel and live, respect to give and get
Get set, say R-E-S-P-E-C-T, for you and me
What’s the word ?
RESPECT,
What’s the word?
RESPECT
It’s so important that you do, RESPECT yourself and others too
It’s so important that you do, RESPECT yourself and others too
You can do it!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, respect for you and respect for me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T will help us live in harmony
R-E-S-P-E-C-T will help us live in harmony
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
