They said.
- C. J. Black.
Remember heed the rule
Don’t tell tales out of school
So I was told all those years ago
Always have your ducks lined up in a row.
You’ll never drown once you, keep your head above water
There is life in the here after
So I was told all those years ago
Always keep a happy face, when you’re on the go.
Hurry on now, take your time
You won’t feel it ‘till you’re in your prime
So I was told all those years ago
Keep your mouth shut while you’re eating, you look a holy show.
Off you go now, don’t be there ‘till you’re back
Take heed of your elders, they’ll set you on the right track
So I was told all those years ago
Always shame the devil or too hell you’ll go.
When I was but a youth the elders used to say
Don’t give up on a thought “seize the day”
So I was told all those years ago
A consequence of this, words continue to flow.
