Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That puppy looks so fluffy
That raccoon looks so small
But if I’ve never met them
I do not pet at all
They might feel scared or angry
They might be sick inside
So I keep my hands beside me
And stand a little wide
[Chorus]
Don’t pet what you don’t know
Take one big step back
Go slow
Some pets bite
Some germs hide
So I stay safe on my side
Don’t pet what you don’t know
Wave hello
Then let them go
If it’s not my family’s pet
I look
I smile
I do not pet
[Verse 2]
A dog could have a fever
A bat could make you ill
One tiny nip or scratchy
Could make you feel so still
So if I see a stranger
With fur or wings or tail
I always call an adult
That’s how my smart plans sail
[Chorus]
Don’t pet what you don’t know
Take one big step back
Go slow
Some pets bite
Some germs hide
So I stay safe on my side
Don’t pet what you don’t know
Wave hello
Then let them go
If it’s not my family’s pet
I look
I smile
I do not pet
[Bridge]
If I’m scared or I’m unsure (I ask!)
I find a grown-up
That’s for sure
If they say “safe
” then I might meet
But I never run up in the street (hey!)
[Chorus]
Don’t pet what you don’t know
Take one big step back
Go slow
Some pets bite
Some germs hide
So I stay safe on my side
Don’t pet what you don’t know
Wave hello
Then let them go
If it’s not my family’s pet
I look
I smile
I do not pet

Style
Bouncy classroom sing-along with ukulele, claps, and light percussion; female vocals leading a kids’ chorus. Verses stay simple and catchy, chorus big and repetitive for easy memorization. Bright xylophone doubles the melody, with a playful call-and-response in the last hook.
