## Lyrics

**AXL:**

I've always been the kid who drives really fast.

Winning every race, Violet on my back.

But what if I'm not the fastest car around?

If I don't win the race, will I let my bestie down?

I was always supposed to be the fastest car in school.

My friends'd all cheer for me, buds forever through and through.

But if I lose the race today, will they still think I'm cool?

What would happen if I'm not

the fastest car in school?

What if I let my best friend down?

Will she want a faster friend next time around?

What if I can't make Violet proud?

Maybe I should give up

and get out now.

'Cause I was always supposed to be the fastest car in school.

My friends'd all cheer for me, buds forever through and through.

But if I lose the race today, will they still think I'm cool?

What would happen if I'm not

the fastest car in school?

I cannot let them see I'm not

the fastest car in school.

To get you down, safe on the ground,

And that is why I say to save the day prepare the proper way

To do your best you have to get your rest

If you are tuckered out try not to doubt what I'm singing about Life's more of a breeze when your at ease because you caught your Z's

To do your best you have to get your rest

Now Bo is gonna dose

To do your best, you have to get your rest!

## Lyrics

**PISTON:**

You all know that keeping safe is my number one rule.

My safety list, I check, check, check

and make sure things are cool.

But as we hit the open road and take off in a burst,

just remember we must always put safety first!

**ALL:**

Safety First!

**PISTON:**

Hey there, Zip. Before you turn, there's something you must do.

Look left and right, look left again:

No cars should be in view.

Then, flip on your turn signal just like you and I rehearsed.

And remember we must always put safety first!

**ALL:**

Safety First!

**PISTON:**

Safety First!

And second and third.

Showing kids to pay attention is my favorite skill.

Like teaching them to stay away from a hot picnic grill.

By following the safety rules, we help prevent the worst.

So let's remember we must always put safety first!

**ALL:**

Safety First!

Safety First!

**PISTON:**

Always put

**ALL:**

Safety First!
