Manners
Manners, MANNERS! one at a time!
And all the rest of you wait!
I can't let all of you drink at once,
Or you would upset the plate.
And all the rest of you wait!
I can't let all of you drink at once,
Or you would upset the plate.
I was always taught to wait my turn,
When I was little like you,
I had to learn many difficult things,
And you'll have to learn them too.
When I was little like you,
I had to learn many difficult things,
And you'll have to learn them too.
So don't be tiresome and make a fuss,
You'll all of you get your turn;
And waiting is one of the hardest things
A puppy dog has to learn.
You'll all of you get your turn;
And waiting is one of the hardest things
A puppy dog has to learn.
