[Chorus]
You gotta count before you click (oh-oh, yeah)
Yeah, it’s the ultimate trick (oh-oh, yeah)
Pause, take nine, let your mind unwind
Before you download, before you share it online

You gotta count before you click (oh-oh, yeah)
Make sure that link is legit (oh-oh, yeah)
Guard your crew and you’ll be doing fine
Protect yourself and others online

[Verse 1]
Scrolling through your timeline, living in the fast lane
Got a notification flashing with a strange name
"Click right here to win big, download the bonus track"
But wait a minute, buddy, there is no turning back
Don’t let ’em catch you slipping, don’t let ’em in your space
A little bit of caution goes a long long way


[Pre-Chorus]
Your finger’s on the trigger, you’re about to make a move
The phishers and the hackers are just waiting to fool you
But you are too smart for the quick tap trap
Put your hands in the air, for a nine second clap

[Verse 2]
Got a spicy little rumor, got a link that looks insane
If you share it in a second, you might cause a lot of pain
Malware in the shadows, viruses on the loose
But a nine-second timeout cuts the hacker’s fuse

[Chorus]
You gotta count before you click (oh-oh, yeah)
Yeah, it’s the ultimate trick (oh-oh, yeah)
Pause, take nine, let your mind unwind
Before you download, before you share it online

You gotta count before you click (oh-oh, yeah)
Make sure that link is legit (oh-oh, yeah)
Join the pause and you’ll be doing fine
Protect yourself and others online

One
Think about it
Two
Take a look
Three
Is it real?
Four
How’s it look?
Five
Check the link
Six
Take a blink
Seven
Eight
Nine

[Chorus]
You gotta count before you click (oh-oh, yeah)
Yeah, it’s the ultimate trick (oh-oh, yeah)
Pause, take nine, let your mind unwind
Before you download, before you share it online

You gotta count before you click (oh-oh, yeah)
Make sure that link is legit (oh-oh, yeah)
Join the pause and you’ll be doing fine
Protect yourself and others online
