Help me mama, for I have grinned

Save me daddy from where I'm goin'

Call out to me from the ages beyond

Help me remember how to be good

How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't

How to remember how to be good

How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't





Help me granddaddy to see the swans

Strike me granny with your golden pump

Teach me now what I could never learn before

How to remember how to be good

How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't

How to remember how to be good

How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't





Teach me Great Uncle to hear the talk

Show me Aunt Avis with your ageless chalk

Scratch it out for me on my cloudy retina

How to remember how to be good

How to continue when I know I really shouldn't

How to remember how to be good

How to continue when I know I really shouldn't

How to remember how to be good

How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't
