when i was a boy i lay in bed
and i would listen to what mamma said
she would sit upon my bed
cuddle me and stroke my head
she said in life you must walk tall
bit by bit you must crawl
never try and run to fast
take it slow and make it last
dont let the world just pass you bye
just look the world straight in the eye
i always listened to what mamma said
her words of wisdom inside my head
now im grown and life is bright
thanks to mamma her words were right
