Lyrics - Mind Your Words


Prim and proper, frail and sweet
soft and quiet, nice and neat
She'll stack them neatly in the corner
Once she tires and they start to bore her

To suffer from a lack of grace
Such a letdown, a disgrace
You always manage to ruin my day
You just can't seem to get out of my way

Sit politely and cross your legs
Mind your words and watch what you say
Head erect, but not too rigid
We're too loose or we're too frigid

You silly things with your funny little ways
You'd all vanish if I had my say
I'm so sorry to have ruined your day
I'm doing my best to stay out of your way


I wish I could be just like you
But I have a brain!!
I think if I thought like you do
I'd go insane
I wish I could be just like you
But I have a brain!!
I don't think like you do
I'm far too sane


We mustn't whisper or laugh loudly
swing our arms or move them awkwardly
Too many thoughts I wish I could erase
Inside my mind, in a deep dark place

A constant smile or a settled frown
Ill-mannered girls are the talk of this town
I may do something awful someday
I just can't seem to get out of my way

Sit politely and cross your legs
Mind your words and watch what you say
Head erect, but not too rigid
We're too loose or we're too frigid

You silly things with your funny little ways
You'd all vanish if I had my say
I'm so sorry to have ruined your day
I'm doing my best to stay out of your way

I wish I could be just like you
But I have a brain!!
I think if I thought like you do
I'd go insane
I wish I could be just like you
But I have a brain!!
I don't think like you do
I'm far too sane

Just ask what's on my mind
You won't want
to know

Just say what's on your mind
I would love
to know
