Words: Windy, Martin M.
Music: Jerry P.

Intro: (F)
(Bb)-(F)-(Dm)-(F)-(C)-(Bb)-(F)-(C)

I (F)went with my kid brother to the park the other (C)day.
A group of kids were fighting and wanting their own (F)way.
Man, they were getting pushy, and one boy banged his (Bb)knee;
But they just laughed and (F)then kept right on (C)shov(F)ing.(C)

We (F)went to help the boy who fell; he could hardly (C7)walk.
We sat down on a nearby bench and began to (F)talk.
I said, "I've had some accidents, and caused some others (Bb)too.
But now I know a (F)better way; I'll (C)show (F)you (C)that...

Chorus
"(F)There's a right way to play and have a real good (C7)time.
There's a right way to play, so everyone feels (F)fine.
(Bb)If we take our turn and be (F)careful and a(Dm)lert,
(Bb)-(F)No one will get (C)hurt and we'll be (Bb)hap(F)py.

(C)

"I (F)learned an important lesson once when I caused an acci(C7)dent.
It doesn't pay to push your way and risk losing a (F)friend.
You can care about the other guy and still have lots of (Bb)fun,
And then every (F)one will have a (C)good (F)time. (C)Yes...

[Repeat Chorus]

(D)

Chorus
Yes, (G)there's a right way to play and have a real good (D7)time.
There's a right way to play, so everyone feels (G)fine.
(C)If we take our turn and be (G)careful and a(Em)lert,
(C)-(G)No one will get (D)hurt and we'll be (C)hap(G)py.
(Bb)-(C)-(G)No one will get (D)hurt and we'll be (C)hap(G)py."
(Bb)-(C)-(G)
