 From my mind

Mother Knows Best


Loosing your teeth with kissing the girls
Eat your crusts they will give you curls
Pull you're socks up and stand up straight
Go to bed early so you don't get up late

Eat your greens and you will grow strong and tall
Now don't you run you know you will fall
Eat your carrots you will see better at night
Look at your collar its black; don't show me up, what a sight.

Don't put that in your mouth you don't know where it's been
Change your underpants you might have an accident make sure they are clean
Say please and thank you mind your manners and don't you forget
Give up your seat for old Ladies when on a bus you do get.

You want a puppy, kitten, hamster, mouse A CHIMPANZEE!!!
I already have three monkeys that's quite enough for me.
I have just washed and ironed keep them clean and tidy if you please
No you can't have long pants you will just rip out the knees

Don't be cheeky wipe that smile off your face
How many times must I tell you, you will trip tie up that lace
You will get square eyes through watching too much TV
Lift up that toilet seat when you're having a Pee.

Lift up your feet you'll put holes in your shoes don't drag them along
Oh you have cut your finger be a brave little soldier don't cry, try to be strong.
No you can't stay up just because there is something on telly till way after ten
Look at the muck in your ears you could grow potatoes in them.

Clean up your plate or no pudding you will get.
Keep out of the puddles and don't get your feet wet.
Wrap up warm and make sure that you wear your vest.
Just because you're fifty, well I'm telling you that Mother knows best.
