“ For a child “
A child should always
say what’s true
And speak when he is spoken to,
And
behave mannerly at the table;
At least as far as he is able.

“ Do as I say ! ”
Take out
the papers and the trash,
Or you don’t get no
spending cash.
You ain’t gonna rock and roll no more.
Yakety-yak.
Don’t tack back.
Just finish cleaning up your room,
Let’s see the dust fly with that broom,
Get all the garbage out of sight,
Or you don’t go out Friday night.
Don’t you give me no dirty looks,
Your mother hip, she knows what cook.
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside,
You ain’t got time to take a ride. J. Leiber and M. Stoller
