Don't be like me, don't be like me, don't be like me when you read and write,
Don't be like me, don't be like me, don't be like me when you read and write.
Hey youth man, hey youth man, hey youth man, make your world a school.
So when your mommy, daddy send you go to school, you scrung on to the pole.
And when your days of school are over, been a blessing.
