Manners Mean Lyrics

Minty Manners Mean

Elvis — eat your vegetables
Sit up straight
Don't point your knife
Don't eat with your fingers

Manners mean
Manners mean
Manners mean
Handling things properly

Put your spoon away from you
You're playing with it
Millions starving in Africa
(Can we leave the table?)

Stay
Your father and I
To talk to you

Stay
We told, grandfather dead
Well, there's more

Manners mean
Manners mean
Manners mean
Handling things properly
Manners mean
Manners mean
Manners mean
Handling things properly

I said
There was a death in the family
But it was
A lie

Manners mean
Manners mean
Manners mean
Handling things properly
