Just the Way I Taught You

I want to go play baseball I want to ride my scooter I want to play some marbles for I am quite the shooter But Dad says Son not yet you've got a lawn to mow do it just the way I taught you not too high nor low And after it's all mowed you must trim the edges fine do it just the way I taught you I want a perfect line Then I want my car washed better than last time do it just the way I taught you I don't want tar and grime When finished take the trash out this time get it right do it just the way I taught you make sure the lid's on tight OK Dad, it's all done can I now go out and play? I'll do it just the way Mom taught me before she passed away
