When I was young they said to me

Don't play with electricity

I tried to follow their advice

I very nearly paid the price, yeah

Some go this way, some go others

Some are children, some are mothers

Some go this way, some go others

Some are children, some are mothers

They gave me toys told me to play

They told me every single day

Always saying what to do

Did this ever happen to you?

And if I followed her myself

There's a bottle on the shelf

Before they finished with my life We'd all up-ed and paid the price

When I was young they said to me

Don't play with electricity

Always saying what to do

Did this ever happen to you?
