Edgar Guest - Always Saying "Don`t!"
Work rating: Low

Folks are queer as they can be,
Always sayin` "don`t" to me;
Don`t do this an` don`t do that.
Don`t annoy or tease the cat,
Don`t throw stones, or climb a tree,
Don`t play in the road. Oh, Gee!
Seems like when I want to play
"Don`t" is all that they can say.

If I start to have some fun,
Someone hollers, "Don`t you run!"
If I want to go an` play
Mother says: "Don`t go away."
Seems my life is filled clear through
With the things I mustn`t do.
All the time I`m shouted at:
"No, no, Sonny, don`t do that!"

Don`t shout so an` make a noise,
Don`t play with those naughty boys,
Don`t eat candy, don`t eat pie,
Don`t you laugh and don`t you cry,
Don`t stand up and don`t you fall,
Don`t do anything at all.
Seems to me both night an` day
"Don`t" is all that they can say.

When I`m older in my ways
An` have little boys to raise,
Bet I`ll let `em race an` run
An` not always spoil their fun;
I`ll not tell `em all along
Everything they like is wrong,
An` you bet your life I won`t
All the time be sayin` "don`t."
