Lyrics:

You just got your own computer what do you need to know 
What’s right what’s wrong, how to be safe, and where you need to go 
When you’re online there’s so much to do
If something doesn’t feel right or you get confused
Check with your grown up…they’ll make sure that you stay safe… 2X

Quick Check Quick Check Ding! Ding! Ding!

What if someone wants your name and address, QC QC ding ding ding…you say no to this
What if someone asks about your family QC QC ding ding ding…get your grown-up  please
If there’s something that doesn’t feel right or is someone is being mean
A QC with your grownup is what you need.
Respectful and responsible
At home and at school
And always remember the Golden Rule
Quick Check Quick Check Ding! Ding! Ding! 2x
