Young, White and Well Behaved Lyrics

Once there was a boy named Peter,
Who went shopping with his grandma.
In the Store he snuck some candy.
He ate it without paying.
When they got home grandma saw chocolate
On his face; made him wash it and heard
as he confessed; I ate it, I didn't pay,
I was a bad boy, I wasn't
Young White and Well beheaved.
Grandma said; Your very naughty
Go tell Mrs. Green that you're sorry
Then pay her for the candy.
So he went back to the store;
Mrs. Green I ate some candy from your
store without paying, I'm sorry it
wont happen again.
I ate it, I didn't pay,
I was a bad boy, I wasn't
Young White and Well Behaved.
Mrs. Green only smiled, said;
God and I both forgive you
For being so very honest
Here's a nice shiny apple
Peter ran home and said; Oh by golly
grandma a shiny apple for being such a
honest boy. I'm so glad I went back,
I certainly am,
It pays to be Young White and Well Behaved.
