Well help me mama, for I have grinned   Save me daddy where I'm goin'   Call out to me from the ages beyond      How to remember how to be good?   How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't?   Oh how to remember how to be good?   How to continue when I feel I really shouldn't?      And help me granddaddy to see the swans   Strike me granny with your golden palm   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?      Help 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 feel I really shouldn't?   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 go on? No may not shouldn't
