V-1
Mommy, I'LL be good, I'll be good,
yes, mommy. I will be good, like I….,I should.
You won't have to tell me again,
cause I know I can't win.
I won't stay out late or run around,
I will be like an angel found.
Doing only what you say
I will be good day after day.
Chorus
Yes, to the world I will shout,
I will show what being good is about.
For you know I can be good,
yes you know I'll be good.
V-2
Now, now when at me you look,
thinking you can read me like a book
Telling me if I am going to be bad,
or even if the thought I had.
Oh teacher, I know I could if I would,
Always be able to say I'll be good.
Chorus
Yes, to the world I will shout,
I will show what being good is about.
For you know I can be good,
yes you know I'll be good.
Bridge
Yes, when I am not good, I always yell at myself,
because I can be as good as anyone else.
V-3
Now, my wife, together we have been for years,
not sharing as many smiles as tears.
Now, you know my will to being good is strong,
as now, I'll be good, yes i will be good and gone.
Chorus
Yes, to the world I will shout,
I will show what being good is about.
For you know I can be good,
yes you know I'll be good.
