Growin' up mom and dad always taught me
Little things that were annoying
And as I grew I began to see
That they were for the best of me...they said

(chorus)
Brush your teeth twice a day
And chew with your mouth closed all the way
But never ever play with matches
Of all the things pounded in my head
Repeatedly they always said
To bow your head and pray before you eat

Put the seat of the toilet down
Because there are women in the house
And as I grew I began to see
That my dad was not joking

(chorus)

So I encourage you to always, always bless your food
Trust me when you bow your head people will notice
And maybe they'll ask just who you are speaking to
And you can say the one who gave His son to save us
Who gave His son to save us...so

Brush your teeth twice a day
And chew with your mouth closed all the way
But never ever play with matches
Of all the things pounded in your head
Repreatedly in this song I've said
To bow your head and pray
To bow your head and pray
To bow your head and pray ebfore you eat
