Father used to say
"You sleep with dogs, the next day
You'll wake in the night scratching those inevitable fleas"
At ten years old
You listen to what you're told
I never had the itch
I never would
Mother had forbidden me
To waste away my life
"I want you to have all the things
I could never buy you
Don't stop what I've 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"
