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
