Lyrics:

My daddy was a wandering man

And my ma was good and true

I've tried to live like my pa

But ma I'm more like you



I want to teach people to love

I want to teach children to sing

I want to make this world a better place

For everyone to live in



My daddy thought that drinking wine

Was something everyman should do

He wanted me to drink and fight

But ma I turned out more like you



I want to teach people to love

I want to teach children to sing

I want to make this world a better place

For everyone to live in



Oh, mama I want to be like you

Oh, mama you got to help me


We got to teach people to love

We got to teach children to sing

We got to make this world a better place

For everyone to live in
