When I was just a young boy, I want to let you know, I had a nasty temper that I could not control. Someone would get me riled up with something that they said. My heart would pound like thunder as my face was turnin red. Then I d think about what my Mama would say. She said, Chorus Stay sweet, stay sweet. Before you say something that you shouldn t repeat. Don t get upset, Before you do somethin that you re gonna regret. It ain t weak to stay meek. You ll see by turnin the other cheek. It takes a mighty man in his soul to stay sweet. One day I was playing and along came one of the boys. I know it was just an accident, but he stepped on one of my toys. My heart pounded like thunder, my face was turnin red. I was just about to blow my top when I remembered what my Mama said. She said, [Repeat Chorus] Stay sweet, remember! That s better! Well, it may not be that easy, it s gonna take all that you ve got To try to be kind and gentle when your temper s inclined to be hot. So if you quench that burnin anger with a cool stream of love, You ll make more friends and you ll understand what my Mama was thinkin of When she used to say these words to me, [Repeat Chorus] STAY SWEET It takes a mighty big man in his soul to stay sweet. [Stay sweet!] Simmer down! [Don t get upset!] Don t get upset! [Stay sweet, don t get upset!] Cool your jets! [Stay sweet!] You won t regret it! Manners Poster 2

I D LIKE TO BE INVISIBLE Oh, I d like to be invisible and spread love everywhere, To help in secret ways without you knowing I am there! I could walk into somebody s room and pick up all the clothes, I could make the bed and tidy up... no one would ever know! If I saw my brother spill his milk and while he gets the mop, I could run and get a floor rag and quickly wipe it up! Daddy comes home with the shopping bags and right before his eyes, The door opens all by itself, he d be so surprised! [Oh, my!] If I saw someone unhappy, I d be there right by their side And whisper sweetly in their ear so they d feel loved inside! But I don t have to be invisible cause I can do my best, To do these things I think about, then God will do the rest. He is always watching over us, He cares for you and me, And although I cannot see Him, His Love I feel and see! So although I m not invisible there s so much I can do, To make it very possible to show I love you! So I don t have to be invisible cause I can do my best, To do the things I think about, then God will do the rest.

We can get along. Yes, we can get along. WE CAN GET ALONG There s a boy I know and he really talks loud, You can hear his every word above a crowd. He doesn t need a microphone, his voice is like a megaphone, But I m his friend and he s a friend of mine.
