Madness Be Good Boy lyrics

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 humored 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 behavior
(Be good boy)
Come visiting day
