George is a Good Boy

Mama told me, Son be a good boy
And I a good boy, I a good boy

I live with Mama and my big brother, Silvano.
Silvano's a good boy, but sometimes not so good
But Mama says he's a good boy, so he's a good boy
Even if Silvano shouts loud sometimes
And if the Police don't like him sometimes
Silvano is a good boy

Yesterday he shouted at the neighbor lady
She's a good neighbor lady, our neighbor lady
So why is Silvano shouting at the good lady?
And why does he have such a big hammer
With a big hammer it must be a big nail
Because Silvano is a good boy
Good boy's help neighbor ladies
The neighbor lady is always nice to me.
I am always nice to the neighbor lady
But why does Silvano shout at neighbor lady
I hope Silvano is a good boy
And doesn't make Mama cry

So, I want to let you know, Mr. Policeman.
Silvano may not be a good boy all the time
But Silvano isn't here right now, Mr. Policeman.
I'm not Silvano, Mr. Policeman. I'm George
Silvano is my brother
I'm not trespassing, not trespassing
I live with Mama and my big brother, Silvano.
I a good boy, a good boy
And maybe if you'd stop hitting me
You'd see I a good boy,
Just like Mama told me.
