Granny Smith

Danny's Porridge Pots
(C.Spanier)

Mystifying!
Stupefying!
You'd better shape-up,
you'd better get your act in gear.
'Else you're gonna ship out,
no more welcome 'round here.
Just lose that bad attitude on the other side of my door.
You'd better shape-up,
get your lip up off the floor.
One day you're gonna wake up
and find you ain't six no more.
Ain't no way to get where you're going if you show them what you don't know.

You don't roll you windows down in a traffic-jam.
You don't talk to the man in the booth,
you don't mess with the truth.
You don't leave no porridge pots for you papa to clean.
You want dollars for your plans,
you'd better shine those pots and pans.

Hey, kid,
if you're looking to live off the fat,
then, kid, you'd better find out where it's at.
Just cool down and don't run around like you're a sheriff in a small town.

You don't roll you windows down in a traffic-jam.
You don't talk to the man in the booth,
you don't mess with the truth.
You don't leave no porridge pots for you papa to clean.
You want dollars for your plans,
you'd better shine those pots and pans.

Danny, do you grow up?
When it's too late for the law, Danny, do you grow up?
When it's too late for you papa,
when it's too late for your friends,
no one's gonna save you,
you're all alone in the end.
Danny, do you realize
that you blink and then you're old?
Just listen to your papa,
you just do what you're told.

You don't roll you windows down in a traffic-jam.
You don't talk to the man in the booth,
you don't mess with the truth.
You don't leave no porridge pots for you papa to clean.
You want dollars for your plans,
you'd better shine those pots and pans.

Mystifying!
Stupefying!
