Fleas

[Verse 1] Father used to say, "You sleep with dogs, the next day You'll wake at midnight scratching those inevitable fleas" At ten years old, you listen to what you're told I never had the itch, I never would [Verse 2] Mother had forbidden me to waste away my life "I want you to have all the things I could never buy you Don't stop what I've begun, you're my one my only son Follow what I say, not what I've done" "Follow what I say, not what I've done" "Shower, scrub, and shave, cleanly boys don't misbehave Follow what I say, not what I've done"
