lyrics

If the temperature is 10 below
And you got to go to school
And the busstop is a mile away
And the wind is cold and cruel
And your overshoes are full of holes
And you don’t wanna go
Remember what your mommy said
As you trudge through the snow
(Ch) You’re building character
You’re building character
And you’ll be a better person
In the end, in the end
You’re building character
You’re building character
And you’ll be a better person
In the end

If your brother comes
And beats you up
And breaks your favorite toy
If he rats you out to Mommy
Cause you’ve been a naughty boy
If he ties you to an anthill
And then pours honey on
Don’t fuss and fight
Just let ‘em bite
Until your brother’s gone (Ch)

If you gotta take the trash out
If you gotta mow the yard
If you gotta do the dishes
If you gotta wash the car
If you gotta walk the schnauzer
If you gotta clean the sink
Don’t get upset
It’s tough you bet
But it’s better than you think (Ch)

(and you’ll be a better person
in the end)

THE END!!!
