Manners , ain't nothing wrong with having manners



Show respect and some courtesy

You gotta give yours to receive

Manners , ain't nothing wrong with having manners

Show respect and some dignity

You gotta give yours to receive



Yes sir and yes maam

Thank you sir and thank you ma'am

May I have and pardon me

When you ask for something always say please



No sir and no ma'am

Give our elders a helping hand

Don't you lie, don't you cheat

Help the blind man cross the street



Manners , ain't nothing wrong with having manners

Show respect and some dignity

You gotta give yours to receive



Learn to listen and know when to talk

Keep your head high whenever you walk



Wash your hands and wash your face

Before you eat always say your grace



Brush your teeth before you go to bed

When in the house take that hat off your head

You don't have to use profanity

To try to get your point across to me



Manners , ain't nothing wrong with having manners

Show respect and some courtesy

You gotta give, you gotta give to receive

Manners , ain't nothing wrong with having manners

Show respect and some dignity

You gotta give, you gotta give to receive
