Glen Campbell Lyrics
"You Better Sit Down Kids"

(Sonny Bono)

You'd better sit down kids I'll tell you why kids
You might not understand kids just give it a try kids
Now how should I put this I've got something to say
Your mama is staying but I'm going away
No we're not mad kids and it's hard to say why
Your mother and I kids don't see eye to eye.

Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother ask
She's gonna need you most to stay in line.

Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
A whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fights over little things
'Cause I won't be there to stop them anymore.

I know you don't want this but neither do we
But sometimes things happen that we can't forsee
So try to become kids and don't look so sad
Just cause I am leaving I'll still be your dad
But just remember I love you and though I'm not here
Just call if you'll need me and I'll always be near.

Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother ask
She's gonna need you most to stay in line.

Well, I have to go now so kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red kids I'm too big to cry...
