Be Good Boy - Madness

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 into 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 bot 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 bot don’t cry mother knows best

Beholder of disguise so choose mother knows best

You better be on your best behaviour

Come visiting day
