This song is available on Cathy Bollinger's "Singing Sounds."

      It's fun to engage children in this song by having them indicate when they recognize the /d/ sound. They can say the word loudly, raise their hands, hold up a card with "dD" written on it -- or acknowledge that they hear the "d" sound in any way you choose.

Don’t you dare dump that dirt
Where I’m trying to make this castle.
Don’t you dare dump that dirt
Where I’m doing this.

‘Cause if you do, I’ll say don’t
And if you won’t I’ll tell Dad
That you did what you did
When I said, “don’t you dare!”

Chorus:
Don’t you dare, d-don’t you dare
Don’t you dare! Dump that dirt where I’m doing
What I’m doing right here.

Don’t you dare do a dance
Where I’m trying to get some sleep.
Don’t you dare do a dance
Where I’m doing this.

‘Cause if you do, I’ll say don’t.
And if you won’t, I’ll tell Dad
That you did what you did
When I said, “don’t you dare!”

Repeat Chorus

Da da da da da da da da - da
Da da da da da da da - da
Da da da da da da da - da
Don’t you dare!

Don’t you dare dip your doughnut
In my last sip of milk.
Don’t you dare dip your doughnut
Where I’m doing this.

‘Cause if you do, I’ll say don’t.
And if you won’t, I’ll tell Dad
That you did what you did
When I said, “don’t you dare!”
