Here's a little tune
You'll be happy to know
Keep it close to you
Wherever you may go
God gave us ten simple rules
To get us through
A little something just for us to live by
So now hide them in your heart
And you will be just fine
And Lord said
Have no other gods but God
To worship idols just won't do
Be careful with the way you use God's name
And keep Sunday special too.
Honor your parents, don't take any lives.
And when you're old enough to marry, be true.
Do not steal or lie
Or want those things that don't belong to you
These are ten simple rules God gave to me and you
Now the good Lord said
You better listen to me
If you follow these rules
Then they will set you free
Because I want you to live
A happy life
And help others to be happy too
So when things go wrong
These words will get you through
Here's a little tune
You'll be happy to know
Keep it close to you
Wherever you may go
God gave us ten simple rules
To get us through
A little something just for us to live by
So now hide them in your heart
And you will be just fine
