Obey First and Never Complain

J-ust obey first and never complain, 
U-nder the Lord God's command; 
N-ever express discontent, as you ought to understand. 

A-s you obey first and never complain, 
V-ague longing is left behind; 
E-arly twenty-sixth of May, 
L-earn to open your mind. 
L-et your heart be submissive, 
A-s you endure the grief and pain; 
N-either rebel nor defy, 
O-bey first and never complain.
