The Good Girl Rule

LEXI:

A little honey pie freshly baked

Wrapped in sweet silk, who wants a taste?

“Honey won’t you be a dear and get me tea?”

Got an F minus for saying “You wish old lady!”

LEXI:

Perfect dress and smiles held high

Guess who got thrown in jail

For starting a fight?

They say “Be quiet, and be polite”

And let the ribbons tie till’ it’s tight

Took that little rule and put it to a light.

JENNY:

An A+ for adding a flavor

Here you go! For just doing a favor

Good girl! Put it on a tag for just being great

Then they get the nerve to tell me to go and

“scrub a plate.”

The Good girl rule! Be kind!

Pour another cup, then pay another dime

Keep the feelings down, don’t show them now

The Good Girl rule! Better follow that!

The Good girl rule! Don’t get fat

Put another penny in the bag

Fill yourself with tea, be in the spotlight

Guess who held it to the light?

The Good Girl rule!

I’m gonna burn it tonight.

JENNY:

Jenny, honey, fix your mood

Keep on smiling, and don’t get an attitude!

Fix your bed, put it in a fold

They also charge you detentions

For getting old.

JENNY:

Got a little F for crying

Then got suspended for not lying

They went and told my mom on me

I got so many detentions, they reserved me a seat

JENNY:

Oh–no! Got an F for not being perfect

Oh–no! Got grounded for burning it

I’m sorry I wasn’t being kind

Then I got expelled for asking why

The Good girl rule! Be kind!

Pour another cup, then pay another dime

Keep the feelings down, don’t show them now

The Good Girl rule! Better follow that!

The Good girl rule! Don’t get fat

Put another penny in the bag

Fill yourself with tea, be in the spotlight

Guess who held it to the light?

The Good Girl rule!

I’m gonna burn it tonight.

Bridge:

Thrown in jail, for being bad

You can keep your cash

No more fines, no more gold

I don’t do what I’m told!

The Good Girl rules?

Burn it now.

Thank you rules for ruining my life

And I will wear a frown!

You better be wise, when you cross me tonight

I won’t be in your school tonight.

The Good Girl rule! Throw it in a sack

Watch the empire crack

I won’t waste a dime, and I won’t lie

The Good Girl rules, time to say ‘goodbye!’

The Good Girl rule, the paper still there

Put the paper to the light, and said “it was fair”

I wanna be free, I don’t wanna be kind!

I finally burnt the rules tonight!
