posture

modesty, child, don't roll 'round or play

modesty, girl, or the demons will stay

skirts stay too small for a baby like you

parents win out, they're not scorned for the view

stiff ram-rod posture and pretty red lips

bras making chests before girls get their hips

keep your legs closed, now sit still for the guests

playing's for boys, they're allowed to be pests

save all your virtue and show your best side

you're prettier than all of the stars at high-tide

running and jumping, your rolling's taboo

now sit there so still, mommy's tying your shoe.
