Simple Things

Keep your shoes on,
Keep your pants up,
Keep your shirt down
(clap, clap, clap clap)

Keep your fingers where I can see them
And don't ask me to smell them

And if you suck a toy
I have to take it away
And if you're loud at nap
You keep your friends awake

These things are common sense
Like One, Two, Three
Like left and right, like A-B-C

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking
And look at where you're walking

Stand still in line
And wait your turn
Keep you hands off the stove
Cause they will burn

Put away what you get out
And inside don't speak so loud

Keep your bottom on your chair while you eat your food
Ask me nice for milk, cause yelling's rude

These things are common sense
Like One, Two, Three
Like left and right, like A-B-C

Like hands are not for fighting
And bottoms are for biting

Like use your words
And not your whine
Like sharing toys
What's yours is mine

Keep the potty talk in the bathroom
And do you give up too soon

Cause if you work real hard
And you concentrate
Little by little, you can do something great

Cause the greatest things
Like One, Two, Three
Like left and right, like A-B-C
They all start as small as a mustard seed
But they can grow as big as the universe you see

(alt. ending:
And if you do em well
And make em a part
Of the way you live,
Then you can start
To go on to bigger things
Like two wheel bikes
And model trains
And mountain hikes
And on and on
There's just no end
Of the things you can do
Cause you're a human!
