Story Behind The Song
There is a Red Yellow Black and White sign all around White Rock Lake in Dallas where this singer/songwriter walks he dog, daily. It says lock your car, take your keys, hide your belongings, and call the police if a crime is observed. Great idea for a song with a public service message.

Lyrics
RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
They got a little problem down at White Rock Lake
Park your car it won't be safe
Take a big bite out of crime
Park by that little old sign
It's RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
Got to be more than a hundred in sight
It says Lock your car Take your keys
Hide your belongings Call the police
RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
Don't be stupid Do what's right
It's a cute little sign just about head high
It's RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
Dog park parking lot getting late
Thought you couldn't find a better place
Hear glass breaking out of site
Huh! You didn't see that sign?
RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
Got to be more than a hundred in sight
It says Lock your car Take your keys
Hide your belongings Listen to me
RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
Don't be stupid Do what's right
Get back in your car put your lights on bright
It's RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE...
I love that sign it's advice is free
There's a hooligan hiding behind each tree
You wanna keep your stuff you better take the time
Read every word on that little o' sign...
RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
Got to be more than a hundred in sight
It says Lock your car Take your keys
Hide your belongings Call the police
RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE
Don't be stupid Do what's right
Leave your car at home start riding your bike
It's RED YELLOW BLACK AND WHITE...
