about

In primary school I had two favourite teachers. Mrs Sutton always said “Manners make the man” and Mrs Garret would really emphasize that important quality in children. This approach has seen me right so far. I wanted to create a song that evoked awareness around the importance of good manners, sharing and being considerate of others. Simply talking to your child about the lyrics of this song and asking them questions on what they think are nice ways to share or be thoughtful can present some really neat responses.

lyrics

CH
Oh Manners make the man
I learned that from my nan
Just say please and thank you and then I’ll take your hand
Oh Manners make the man
I learned that from my nan
Just say please and thank you and do it all again

Oh, it’s important for us to be polite
Say good morning and then you say goodnight
When you’re coughing turn the other way
And when you’re leaving you say “have a lovely day”.

CHORUS

When you walk through the door I wont shut it in your face
When I take my seat I will save you a place
When I cut my cake I will save a piece for you
Coz I know you would do that for me too

CHORUS x2
Just say please and thank you and do it all again!
