lyrics

If you wanna get along
you better listen to this song
good or bad or right or wrong
Just eat what's put before you

your mama told you when
you were only 8 or 10
sat you in your chair and then
she said eat what's put before you

Now don't you go complaining
or acting doublecrossed
you ain't the one that fixed it
you don't know how much it cost

Make a smile out of your frown
turn that sad face upside down
be a happy circus clown
and eat what's put before you

Now if you feel neglected
by the portion on your plate
recall those kids in china
and commence to masticate

As your life goes rolling by
you will be served some humble pie
look that cook right in the eye
and eat what's put before you
don't ask how or what or why
just eat what's put before you
