An think q boy was made to scold.
But, my dad, he just seems to know
A boy amt sprouting angel wings
At least not where the wing d show.

And talks about mistakes you make

To him when / have made some

An he can play, tell you what
And amt afraid of getting hurt.
He's always Johnny-on-the-s
Nor doesn't mind little dirt
The boys all like him in the game,
Because he always plays It fair;
An win or lose, it's just the same.
There's no regret, if you play

You know, I'd hate to have dad feel
He couldn't trust me every day.

And follow it. A dad like that
Is worth a youngsters tying to.
