Don’t Jump Over The Cliff!

ā€œDon’t Jump Over The Cliff!ā€ is a fun, imaginative children’s song about safety, smart decision-making, and finding another way when the path ahead is dangerous. During an adventurous mountain climb, changing weather creates an unexpected challenge—but instead of taking a risky shortcut, the song encourages kids to stop, think, and explore safer alternatives: go left, go right, or even take a flight! With its catchy chorus and whimsical flying saucer, the song turns an important safety lesson into a memorable adventure. It’s a playful way for parents and educators to encourage children to think creatively, make safe choices, and remember: never straight down!

Watch Don’t Jump Over The Cliff!

Don’t Jump Over The Cliff! Lyrics

Climbing up a mountain,
On a clear blue day.
I never saw the clouds coming;
If I did, I'd run away.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

The rain started pouring,
The mountain got wet.
I needed to stay dry somehow,
Or a cold I'd surely get.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

The rain fell hard for a long while,
Then something happened that made me smile.
A flying saucer in the sky
Flew over my head and kept me dry.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

Never straight down.
