My mama, she said
Leave well alone
And remember what I said
Even when you're grown

She said, you and your brother
Must learn to share
To do always what's right
And what's fair

And be slow what you take
'Cause you reap just what you make
And don't fight
Like two dogs and a bone

Said it's better to give
Than to receive
And to always tell the truth
And don't deceive

And make sure that you do
What your mama tells you to
And don't fight
Like two dogs and one bone

And be slow what you take
'Cause you reap just what you make
And don't fight
Like two dogs and one bone
