Don't you, don't you step a snake
Don't you, don't you ride in a plane
Don't you, don't you eat a steak. It might kill you
Don't you, don't you stay in the sun
Don't you, don't you open the door
Don't you, don't you have any fun. It will kill you
If you want to get to the end of the day
Before you die here's what I say
Lay down, stay down 'cause you can't fall off the floor
Who's afraid of the big bad world
The big bad world, the big bad world
Who's afraid of the big bad world
Nobody loves a chicken
Who's afraid of the big bad world
The big bad world, the big bad world
Who's afraid of the big bad world
Get some guts and feel no fear *
Don't you, don't you sit on a wall
Don't you, don't you take a breath
Don't you, don't you answer the call. It might kill you
Don't you, don't you catch a cold
Don't you, don't you say what you think
Don't you, don't you ever get old. It will kill you
If you want to the end of the day
Before you die here's what I say
Lay down, stay down 'cause you can't fall off the floor
[chorus]
Who's afraid of the big bad world...
Play it safe, play it safe
Life is truly wonderful but slippery when wet
stay inside, stay and hide
Life can give you everything but don't forget stay low
Who's afraid of the big bad world...
