"Are You Sun Safe?" Song Lyrics
(To the melody: “Are You Sleeping?”)
Are you sun safe? Are you sun safe?
Yes I am. Yes I am.
I am wearing sunscreen. I am wearing sunscreen.
Yay for me! Yay for me!
(Pretend to rub on sunscreen)
Are you sun safe? Are you sun safe?
Yes I am. Yes I am.
I am wearing my hat. I am wearing my hat.
Yay for me! Yay for me!
(Pretend to put on hat)
Are you sun safe? Are you sun safe?
Yes I am. Yes I am.
I have sun safe clothing. I have sun safe clothing.
Yay for me! Yay for me!
(Pretend to put on sun safe clothing)
Are you sun safe? Are you sun safe?
Yes I am. Yes I am.
I am wearing my shades. I am wearing my shades.
Yay for me! Yay for me!
(Pretend to put on sunglasses)
Are you sun safe? Are you sun safe?
Yes I am. Yes I am.
I will play in the shade. I will play in the shade.
Yay for me! Yay for me!
(Hold arms over head to make shade)
