Always sure to do a good turn
Though not having money to burn

My mother, she was very strict
With the modern world never clicked
Children seen, not heard
That’s sometimes preferred
But her coldness I'd not inflict

Sometimes it’s best to keep silent

Sometimes it’s best to keep silent
Even when advice is well meant

Sometimes it’s best to keep silent
Even when advice is well meant
If it’s misconstrued

Sometimes it’s best to keep silent
Even when advice is well meant
If it’s misconstrued
Your solicitude

Sometimes it’s best to keep silent
Even when advice is well meant
If it’s misconstrued
Your solicitude
Is wrong, even with good intent.

Threw a white sheet on
And, like Buster Keaton
