My daddy told me these are the rules
And then he showed me how to play 'em cool
He said too many faces and too many lies
My daddy told me don't be too wise
(Do, do as I do)
My daddy told me these are the rules
And then he told me say what I say and be you
(Do, do as you do)
And all the things you won't learn in school
And then he said you gotta be true
My daddy told me no game no win
And the he told me go let love begin
He said many will come and many will go
My daddy told me just take it slow
(Do, do as I do)
My daddy told me these are the rules
And then he told me say what I say and be you
(Do, do as you do)
And all the things you won't learn in school
And then he said you gotta be true
Hold on these words that I say
Roll out the world on the way, on and on and on!
My daddy told me don't sell your soul
And then he showed me, showed me how to roll
He said a million to one, just stick to your guns
My daddy told me don't come undone
(Do, do as I do)
My daddy told me these are the rules
And then he told me say what I say and be you
(Do, do as you do)
And all the things you won't learn in school
And then he said you gotta be, gotta be true
