Skip the skip up the road, off to school you go
Don't be a bad boy, Johnny, don't you slip up or play the fool

Oh no, Ma, Oh no, Da, I'll be your golden boy
I will obey every golden rule

Get told by the teacher not to day-dream
And told by my mother

Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good

Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good

"Going to play football this year, John?"
"No!"
"Oh, you must be going to play cricket this year then
Are you Johnny?"
"No! no! no!"
"Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny but I like you
So tell me, what kind of boy are you, John?"

I only like dreaming all the day long
Where no one is screaming

Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good

Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good

I only like dreaming all the day long
Where no one is screaming

Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good

Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good

Be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good

Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
Be good, be good, be good
