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
