Don't you talk while you are eating,
Please, be still when Grown-Ups talk,
Girls have dolls and boys don't cry,
The devil makes you want to lie!
You never should betray your feelings,
“Stick to smilesâ€, that's what they say.
Don't express your own opinion,
But how ‘bout doing it your own way?
Who says: “Go to bed at nighttime!�
Who says: “Get up at 8!�
Who needs to smile on the outside?
Take a new course, go fish or cut bait!
Who says: “Go to bed at nighttime!�
Who says: “Get up at 8!�
Who needs a load of conventions
Come as you are before it's too late
“It isn't done and mind your mannersâ€
You have heard those lines before
Do you care ‘bout what they say?
Why not break a rule a day
Do you know ‘bout all those people,
Who always know what's right for you?
No need for you to be “forgivenâ€!
No need to change your way of living!
Chorus
