Lyrics

Another baby child comes into this world
Maybe mama?s pride and joy, or daddy?s little girl
Someday they?ll be grown up and walk off into the night
And if you want ?em to come back home
Raise ?em right

Show ?em how we say yes, sir, yes ma?am
And let ?em squirm a little while before you help ?em out of a jam
Teach ?em how to pray before they turn out the light
?Cos if you want ?em to find their way
Raise ?em right

And just remember when you plant ?em don?t you plant ?em too deep
And don?t forget when they?re older that what you sow you reap
Sprinkle ?em with love and point ?em toward the light
And if you want ?em to grow up tall
Raise ?em right

There?s just too many seeds that never find good soil
And if you never give ?em what they need they?re only gonna spoil
And then when the harvest comes around it ain?t a pretty sight
So if you want to produce a good yield
Raise ?em right

And just remember when you plant ?em don?t you plant ?em too deep
And don?t forget when they?re older that what you sow you reap
Sprinkle ?em with love and point ?em toward the light
And if you want ?em to grow up tall
Raise ?em right
