I wrote a considerably longer version of this song years ago for my mom. It's been so well received that I edited it for time and more universal content for other sons to be able to share with their moms.

You're welcome to use this song for free.

Or you can just listen to it.


Yellow and blue make green.

Two plus two is four.

Remember please and thank you,

And always close the door.


Jack be nimble.

Jack be quick.

But you can bet that if Jack’s mother knew

He’d never jump over that candlestick


Snowflakes have six sides,

No two are the same.

Who did you say gave you that bruise?

What’s his mother’s name?


Yes, it is your toy,

But isn’t it nice to share?

Make sure you’re looking both ways

I have no kids to spare!


And now son,


Close your eyes.

Bow your head.

Kneel with me

By your bed, and start to pray.

Ask the Lord His blessing on today.


Then listen close for His reply

As He guides you in His way.

And rest assured I’ll do my part,

Everyday for you, son, I’ll pray.


Here the phone’s for you.

No, not until your homework’s done.

Would you stop harassing your brother?

I know you think it’s fun.


Commit yourself to decency

Above fortune, or fame.

Who did you say this girl is?

What’s her mother’s name?


Hold the door for her.

Pull out her chair.

Make sure you’re driving safely

I have no kids to spare!


And now son,


Close your eyes.

Bow your head.

Kneel with me

By your bed, and start to pray.

Ask the Lord His blessing on today.


Then listen close for His reply

As He guides you in His way.

And rest assured I’ll do my part,

Everyday for you, son, I’ll pray.


Mom, you’ve taught me so much

About what life should be,

And how to be the man

God wants me to be.


But of the lessons I have learned

Thank God I’ve learned this too:

The very first proof of His love,

Was that God gave me you.


So now mom,


Close your eyes.

Bow your head.

Kneel with me

By your bed, and start to pray.

Ask the Lord His blessing on today.


Then listen close for His reply

As He guides you in His way.

And rest assured I’ll do my part,

Everyday for my kids, I’ll pray.
