Story Behind The Song
The song and musical pays homage to my brother MIKE who was killed in a car crash while under the influence of alcohol and drugs leaving behind a young girl and boy who will never know their dad. By writing this musical, this was a way to deal with my sense of loss and grief while sharing this important message to a young audience and their parents/caregivers.

Lyrics
KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN (THE NEW RULE TO BE COOL (2:39)
KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN
NOW THAT'S THE NEW RULE TO BE COOL, TO BE COOL
KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN
NOW THAT'S THE NEW RULE TO BE COOL, THAT'S RIGHT
WELL THAT'S IT, I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THOSE WILD AND CRAZY TIMES
OF THAT WIL AND CRAZY STUFF
WELL THAT'S IT, ENUFF'S ENOUGH
I'M ALL DONE WITH AL THAT NOW
NOW I KNOW THE RULE
KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN
NOW THAT'S THE NEW RULE TO BE COOL, TO BE COOL
KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN
NOW THAT'S THE NEW RULE TO BE COOL, THAT'S RIGHT
WELL IT'S TRUE WHAT I SAY
NOW I FOLLOW THAT RULE AND I PLAY IT EACH DAY
AND I KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN
WHEN ENUFF IS ENOUGH, ENUFF IS ENOUGH
KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN
NOW THAT'S THE NEW RULE TO BE COOL, TO BE COOL
KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN
NOW THAT'S THE NEW RULE TO BE COOL, THAT'S RIGHT
CHORUS (3X)
