My father said,
My mother said,
"Honey be good, Honey be good,"
My brother said,
My sister said,
"Brother be good, Brother be good, Oh, Brother be good."
Its been a long time,
Its been a long time,
Its been a long time,
Since I've been good.
I met a girl,
When I was young,
"Will you be good, Will you be good?"
She placed her hand over my mouth,
"Will you be good, Will you be good, Will you be good, Oh, Will you be good?"
Its been a long time,
Its been a long time,
Its been a long time,
Since I've been good.
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
I will be good,
Swear I'll be good,
I will be good,
I swear I'll be good.
