Song DescriptionFast moving and fun, this syncopated song covers basic table manners from A-Z, including G (passing gas and how to NOT react). Great teaching tool for older kids.
Story Behind the SongMy first song about manners, Habit the Rabbit, didn't cover everything I wanted to teach kids about manners, so I added this one to my repertoire. Special thanks to my friend & producer Jamie DeFrates for the chorus idea.

would let my kid listen catchily

I never usually review anything from the rap genre as I am not a fan at all but I was pleasantly surprised by this. Great bass playing again! I think I recognise the artist! Great lyrics and sentiment. This is very good - down to the chugging little keyboard that is stabbing away in the background.

Lyrics
CHORUS: Manner, Oh yeah, Mind your manners, Yes Ma'am.
Manners, Oh yeah, Mind your manners, Yes Sir.
Ok, now kids, for a little more fun
A fast crash course in Manners 101
If you pass, you get a golden star.
Put it into practice, baby, you'll go far.
There's more to good manners than just please and thanks
So here we go, guys, just fill in the blanks. SING CHORUS
If you want the world to think your mama raised you right
Always chew your food with your mouth closed TIGHT.
Sit up straight and tall like you're strong and able.
Put your napkin on your lap; keep your elbows off the TABLE.
Swallow your food, then you may speak.
Never say a word with your chow in your CHEEK. SING CHORUS
Try a little bit of everything that's on your plate.
Don't think you're gonna die because of what you ATE.
If the food's fantastic, slow down your motor.
Don't shovel it in like a front end LOADER.
If you want to make your grandma or your grandpa proud
Say "Excuse me" when you burp, and don't be LOUD. SING CHORUS
If someone flatulates, hey, just let it pass.
It's rude to remark about natural GAS.
When you're finished with your meal, don't jump up and go.
"May I please be excused" are some words you gotta KNOW.
If you want to get an "A" on your Manners Test,
Help to clear the table, and compliment the CHEF.
Remember someone's always lookin' at you.
Mind your manners, kid, it's the right thing to DO.
it's the right thing to DO. it's the right thing to DO.
