Paint Not the Town Red
P-aint not the town red,
R-emain pure in heart;
I-n spite of peer pressure,
N-ever break your faith apart.
C-over not the town red;
E-ven though it's enticing;
S-tay away from drinking hard liquor that's so tempting.
A-im not to paint the town red, let not pleasure turn to pain;
N-ever stay much longer under the falling rain.
M-aintain your holiness,
E-vading the evil mind;
N-either whiskey nor cocaine
D-oes make your head fine.
E-vening thirtieth of July, sleep early in your bed;
Z-ealously avoid night out, paint not the town red
