you sleep with dogs the next day
you''ll wake in the bed scratching
those inevitable fleas
at ten years old
you listen to what you''re told
but I never felt the itch
I never would
my mother had forbidden me
to waste away my life
I want you to have all the things
I could never buy you
so don''t stop what i''d begun
you''re my one my only son
follow what I say not what i''ve done
follow what I say not what i''ve done
shower, scrub, and shave
cleanly boys don''t misbehave
follow what I say, not what i''ve done
