lyrics

Save the Day!

Can you tell if someone’s choking
when their airway isn’t clear?
Their eyes as big as dinner plates,
they clutch their throat in fear!
Sometimes they’ll leave the table
so that you won’t see
‘cause they become embarrassed:
“This can’t be happening to me!”

But here’s a little method
to help to save the day,
made up by Doctor Heimlich
(he told us what to say):
Ask if they can speak, and
if they shake their head, say,
“I know how to help you,”
and take control instead!

Come around behind them,
with your left hand, make a fist.
Put it on their tummy just below their waist.
Bring your right hand ‘round them
and clutch it to your left.
Pull your fist in and upward
several times to do the trick!

But if your friend is coughing
then you don’t have to act.
Just remember not to
slap her on the back.
‘Cause, if she can cough,
she can do the job alone,
but, you’ll be there to help.
If you need to use the phone,
just in case of a problem, then, call 9-1-1.
Better safe than sorry!
Call them up, they’d rather come
to make sure the person’s healthy
and then be on their way.
They’ll be happy that you used your head
to help to save the day!
