Mom and
Dad
Always mind your mom and dad.
Do your chores and don’t get mad.
Sometimes when you want to go
Mom and Dad must tell you no
Then it seems that they don’t care
But usually they’re very fair
They have reasons, this is true
They want the very best for you
They don’t want to spoil your fun
They love you more than anyone
(except Jesus)
It’s their job to be your guide.
And Mom and Dad are on your side.
