Your elders gave you the word To ignore would be folly Look fearsome and undeterred With drunken rants, the wisdom slurred that made your skin all crawly Your elders gave you the word Quiet, you would have preferred It was burned down by hurled mollies Look fearsome and undeterred With disobedience absurd Nod twice and wear your Jolly Your elder gave you the word The whispers stop at the flightless bird Chased down by a Border Collie Look fearsome and undeterred Automatic the scatter of the herd Upon an unannounced volley Your elders gave you the word Look fearsome and undeterred
