Fleas

My father used to say
You sleep with dogs the next day
Youll wake in the bed scratching
Those inevitable fleas
At ten years old
You listen to what you are told
But I never felt the ich
I never would
My mother had forbidden me To waste away my life
I want you to have all the things I could never buy you
So dont stop what Id begun
Youre my one, my only son
Follow what I say not what Ive done
Follow what I say not what Ive done
Shower, scrub, and shave
Cleanly boys dont misbehave
Follow what I say not what Ive done
