Respect
Johnny's such a darling boy, happy and delightful
Until he gets inside the store, then he's Freddy frightful
He cries and screams and throws a fit, just to get his way
Mommy buys him what he wants with nothing more to say
A kindly gentleman asks the boy, "Are you happy now"
Johnny looks him in the eye, then rudely answers "yow"
On television everyday on family TV shows
They ask the questions to the kids, they just say "Yow" and "No"
Whatever happened to respect and proper etiquette
Folks these days don't teach their kids, one day they will regret.
Back in the day when I was young, we said "Yes sir", "No ma'am"
Otherwise the folks I had would bust your little ham
So if your young with family, please take friendly advice
Teach your kids to have respect and in public to be nice
If I see Johnny where I shop and he throws a little fit
I'm going to get right in your face and raise all kinds of $**t
