Lyrics[]
Here's a little story 'bout a boy named Billy
With a problem much like your own
You see, Billy had a bully by the name of Bobby
And he wouldn't leave the boy alone
Now, Bobby came around every day around now
Making Billy really scared and blue
It's so sad and silly, but Bobby bullied Billy
'Til he didn't know what to do
Day after day, it wouldn't go away
Though Billy would beg and plead
At lunch and at soccer after class by the locker
Billy knew where the bully would be
So Billy looked around for his teacher Mr. Brown
'Cause he knew the right thing to do
He said, "I can't understand and I really need a hand,
That's why I'm speaking to you"
His teacher said, "Billy, I'm proud of you
The best thing that you can do..."
Is speak up, stop bullying
Speak up, stop bullying
Everybody, it's up to you
It's the right thing to do
To speak up, stop bullying
You've gotta speak up!
The next few days, Bobby changed his ways
Billy thought his bully bother was gone
But brother, let me say, Bobby didn't stay away
And the bully kept bullying on
When he saw Bobby there standing over by the stair
Billy tried not to catch his eye
But he couldn't ignore him, so Bobby coming for him
That's when Buddy came walking by
But he walked by stilly, thought he noticed poor Billy
Being bullied there in the hall
He seen it kinda through him, his buddy barely knew him
But he knew he'd better get involved
But he stepped up, said, "I hate to interrupt
But I believe that you could use a friend
And being there together made Billy feel better
Bobby wouldn't bully Billy again
But he said, "Billy, I'm here for you
The best thing I know to do..."
Is speak up, stop bullying
Speak up, stop bullying
Everybody, heed the call
Be friendly, get involved
And speak up, stop bullying
You've gotta speak up!
Now Bobby felt bad and really kind of sad
And he didn't know what to say
He told Buddy and Billy that he really felt silly
He'd been bullying Billy that way
He said, "Billy, no fool, and I see what I've been doing
And I wanna apologize to you
You see, all along I was trying to feel strong
'Cause I was once bullied too
So Billy and Bobby became good friends
But this is not yet where the story ends
The two got together to spread the word
Everybody let your voice be heard...
And speak up, stop bullying
Speak up, stop bullying
Everybody, it's up to you
It's the right thing to do
To speak up, stop bullying
Speak up, stop bullying
Everybody, heed the call
Be friendly, get involved
And speak up, stop bullying
You've gotta speak up!
