[Verse 1]
Sliding into your airplane seat tonight
Metal buckle gleaming in the cabin light
Don't just click it anywhere you please
Position matters for your safety needs
Low across your hipbones, snug and tight
Never let it ride up to your waist's height
[Chorus]
Lift to release, don't push the tab
Low and tight, that's where it's at
Buckled up when seated down
Even when no warning sound
Lift to release, don't push the tab
Low and tight, that's where it's at
[Verse 2]
Captain turns the seatbelt signal off
Doesn't mean you should remove yours, scoff
Turbulence can strike without a cue
Sudden drops can toss around the crew
Keep that metal guardian in place
Protecting hips, not ribs or waist
[Chorus]
Lift to release, don't push the tab
Low and tight, that's where it's at
Buckled up when seated down
Even when no warning sound
Lift to release, don't push the tab
Low and tight, that's where it's at
[Bridge]
Practice now while sitting still
Lift the buckle, test your skill
Not a button you can press
Upward motion brings success
Feel the mechanism's silver tongue
Release it quick when safety's done
[Verse 3]
Hipbone placement keeps you anchored true
If it's loose, it cannot rescue you
Every takeoff, landing, bumpy ride
Trust the belt positioned by your side
Three simple rules to keep in mind
Safety's not that hard to find
[Chorus]
Lift to release, don't push the tab
Low and tight, that's where it's at
Buckled up when seated down
Even when no warning sound
Lift to release, don't push the tab
Low and tight, that's where it's at
[Outro]
Silver guardian across your hips
Safety wisdom on your lips
Lift to free, and keep it low
Now you're ready, off you go
