Plant a tree for all the dead people

Who's been hurt in love and war

When that tree comes in to leave

It's all forgive

and forgiven, forgiven

The forest is getting

smaller and smaller

Be good

Do all the things you should

Be good

Do it as you wish you would

Be good

Do all the things you should

Surprise your alcoholic neighbour

With a party one day, Happy Birthday!

Oh, buy her a pineapple

Same as last year

She'll smile and show you her dog

Her little doggy

Then you give her money

Something like 300 crowns

Be good

Do all the things you should

Be good

Do it as you wish you would

Be good

Do all the things you should

Then you'll look over that day, rewrite Dallas

Because JR was too evil

He was too evil

It's all because of JR that everything

Went crazy with the world

With the world

Make JR nice and all our history

Will be mystery

Remember...

This song could be about Jesus

But it can also be a song about you

This song could be about Jesus

But it can also be a song about you

Be good

Do all the things you should

Be good

Do it as you wish you would

Be good

Do all the things you should
