I've Got Better Manners Than You Lyrics

I've got better manners than you [x3]
I've got better manners and you know it's true.
I've got better manners than you [x3]
I've got better manners and you know it's true.

By the time you've said "Thank you" or tried to be nice.
("Thank You")("Thank you, very much")
I've already said "Please," "You're Welcome," and "Thank You," at
Least twice. (Ya, ya, ya-ya-ya-ya).

Because I've got better manners than you. (Yes you do).
I've got better manners than you. (No you don't).
I've got better manners than you.
I've got better manners and you know it's true.

When someone's gonna sneeze, I start to race.
("Achoo") ("Gesundheit") ("Thank you")
Before they say "Achoo" I've got my tissue in their face.
("Thank you, very much") (Ya, ya, ya-ya-ya-ya).

- "Wait a minute, Parry."
- "Huh?"
- "Isn't it considered to be bad manners to boast about how good
Your manners are?
- "Yeah"
- "Yeah, Hello, boasting is bad manners. Never boast."
- "Why, yes, that's an excellent point. You're absolutely right."
- "See"
- "It is very bad manners to boast" (Uh-huh, yep) "But I might add,
That it is even worse manners to interrupt someone in the middle
Of their song." (Huh?) "Which just goes to prove-" (Yeah, but-)
"what I was saying earlier." (wait a minute-)

That I've got better manners than you.
I've got better manners than you [x2]
I've got better manners and you know it's true.
("Your mom's gonna hear about this."
I've got good manners, I've got good manners.
("Oh, wait a minute, Parry, hold on.")
I've got good manners, I've got good manners.
I've got better manners and you know it's true.
