Flipper be good child!

Growing up is tough
In this ole world
Living in the rough is, a hard time
When every decision you have to make
Rests on a dime you beg, borrow, steal or take
They tell you
Wait until later
Do as you're told
Be a good child
And go to bed early
Don't talk back
And don't hit your sister
Go do your homework
Now get ready for the real world
