Stop, Look and Listen! / I'm No Fool! Lyrics – Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards

Soundtrack Album: Classic Disney

Stop, Look and Listen! / I'm No Fool! Text

Stop, look and listen
And always use your head
Look at the signal
Is it green or red

First, you stop, then you look
Then you listen hard
You can make just any street
As safe as your backyard

Stop, look and listen
Your eyes will tell your feet
When you can safely
Walk across the street

First, you stop, then you look
Then you listen hard
You can make just any street
As safe as your backyard

Stop, look and listen!

(spoken) "That's very good advice, huh, and I always follow it because..."

I'm no fool! No sirree!
I want to live to be seventy-three
I play safe for you and me 'cause
I'm no fool!

Any fool play's in the street
As though it were a field
A bumper throws him for a loss
Against the car's windshield

Oh, I'm no fool! No sirree!
I want to live to be eighty-three
I play safe for you and me 'cause
I'm no fool!

Any fool gets out of cars
The wrong side only once
And if he lives to tell the tale
He's crowned a stupid dunce

Oh, I'm no fool! No sirree!
I want to live to be ninety-three
I play safe for you and me 'cause
I'm no fool!

Stop, look and listen
And always use your head
Look at the signal
Is it green or red

First, you stop, then you look
Then you listen hard
You can make just any street
As safe as your backyard

Stop, look and listen
Your eyes will tell your feet
When you can safely
Walk across the street

First, you stop, then you look
Then you listen hard
You can make just any street
As safe as your backyard

Stop, look and listen!

Background and Context. Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards, with his unique voice and ukulele playing, conntributed significantly to the classic Disney soundtrack, enriching the animation era with memorable songs. "Stop, Look and Listen!" and "I'm No Fool!" serve as educational tunes, teaching children about safety in an engaging way. These songs, encapsulating vital life lessons with catchy melodies, emerged from the mid-20th century, a period when animated shorts played a pivotal role in both entertainment and education. Main Message and Theme. The songs blend catchy tunes with essential safety messages, emnphasizing the importance of vigilance in everyday situations. By personifying the listener as someone who wishes to avoid the fate of being "no fool," Edwards cleverly inculcates a sense of responsibility and caution. The repetition of "stop, look, and listen" serves as a mnemonic device, reinforcing the safety protocol of crossing streets. This approach not only makes the song memorable but also instills a lifelong habit of caution and awareness in its young audience. Meaning and Summary. At their core, "Stop, Look and Listen!" and "I'm No Fool!" carry straightforward yet profound messages: the significance of being cautious and using one’s judgment to navigate potentially dangerous situations. Through the lyrics, Edwards imparts wisdom on street safety, using the metaphor of the street as a backyard—a familiar and safe space—to encourage children to extend their safety practices beyond their immediate surroundings. The progression of wanting to live to 73, then 83, and finally 93, humorously yet effectively communicates the desire for a long, safe life, underlining the songs' underlying message of self-preservation and caution. Analysis. Edwards' songs are not just didactic but also deeply embedded with the values of their time, reflecting a societal emphasis on safety and personal responsibility. The cheerful melody juxtaposed with the serious subject matter creates a contrast that captures the attention of both children and adults, making the safety lessons more memorable. The use of a conversational tone, especially in "I'm No Fool!" where Edwards speaks directly to the listener, establishes a connection, making the advice feel personal and sincere. This technique enhances the educational value of the song, ensuring its messages are both heard and heeded. Cultural Significance. In the broader context of Disney's educational shorts, these songs represent an era where animation played a crucial role in teaching and shaping the minds of the young. The inclusion of such songs in the "Classic Disney" soundtrack underlines their enduring appeal and the timeless nature of their messages. Edwards' legacy, through these tunes, continues to echo the importance of caution and wisdom in daily life, ensuring his contributions remain relevant and cherished by generations.
