Tell me, dear children,
And please answer right,
Are hands made for working

Or only to fight?
Hands are made for working,
Hands are made for working,

Hands are made for working,
And not to fight!
Tell me, dear children,

And please tell me quick,
Are feet made for walking
Or only to kick?

Feet are made for walking,
Feet are made for walking,
Feet are made for walking,

And not to kick!
Tell me, dear children,
And please don't be shy,

Are eyes made for seeing
Or only to cry?
Eyes are made for seeing,

Eyes are made for seeing,
Eyes are made for seeing,
And not to cry!

Tell me, dear children,
And please do not shout,
Are mouths made for smiling

Or only to pout?
Mouths are made for smiling,
Mouths are made for smiling,

Mouths are made for smiling,
And not to pout!
Tell me, dear children,

And please clearly state,
Are hearts made for loving
Or only to hate?

Hearts are made for loving,
Hearts are made for loving,
Hearts are made for loving,

And not to hate!
