Sitting by the fire
It seems only yesterday
Look how you've grown
Now the time has come
For me to say:
You can do whatever you feel
I guess I'm right whenever you feel
Don't forget to brush your teeth
Or comb your hair
There's people out there to meet
Careful when you smile
When you walk in the room
A smile worthless unless you mean it to
You can take whatever you need
You can leave whenever need be
Be good boy, don't fall, mother knows best
Be good boy and choose, mother knows best
Take a look at what you're going to do
Ooh think boy, don't be led, take the lead boy
I don't want to have to tell you again
Don't let me down my good humoured man
You can have whatever you want
Maybe I'm wrong whenever you want
Be good boy, don't fret, mother knows best
Be good boy, don't cry, mother knows best
Beholder of disguise (be good boy), so choose, mother knows best
Better be on your best behaviour (be good boy), come visiting day
