Go up strong
Go up brave
Don't do wrong
Just behave
Listen to what your mama says

Stand up straight
Follow the rules
Don't do wrong
Don't be a fool
There are things that you don't know

And you know
It won't last
It won't last forever
And you know
It won't last
It won't last forever

Only sleep when you're in bed
Don't let things go to your head
Just keep your mind on livin'
You are young, but you are old
You've always done what you are told
But there's things that you're forgetting

And you know
It won't last
It won't last forever
And you know
It won't last
It won't last forever
And you know
It won't last
It won't last forever
And you know
It won't last
It won't last forever
