No pushing, no biting, no scratching, no fighting
When you know what the nos are
You're gonna get along fine

No poking, no pinching, no grabbing, no kicking
When you know what the nos are
You're gonna get along fine

No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no, no
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no, no
NO! NO!

When somebody tells you no
Cause you're doing something wrong
Stop that, quit it, don't you know
No means no, no no no no!
No means no, no no no no!

No swearing, no lying, no sassing, no whining
When you know what the nos are
You're gonna get along fine

No spitting, no licking, no teasing, no picking
When you know what the nos are
You're gonna get along fine

No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no, no
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no, no
NO! NO!

When somebody tells you no
Cause you're doing something wrong
Stop that, quit it, don't you know
No means no, no no no no!
No means no, no no no no!

No means no, no no no no!
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no, no
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no, no
