Chorus:
(G)Manners, thoughtful manners,
Showing love to everybody every(D)day.
Manners, thoughtful manners,
Being cheerful in the things I do and (C)sa(G)y.
Manners, thoughtful manners,
Forget myself and think of those a(C)round!
It's simply thinking more about the (G)others,
And (D)that's how love is (G)found!

(C)There are many times each day
When (G)you and I can show
A (D)little deed of kindness,
(C)Everywhere we (G)go. [Can I help you?]
Re(C)member love is noticed
By the (G)things we do and say, [Thank you so much!]
(D)So let's try a little love
And (C)help someone to(G)day!(D)

[Repeat chorus]

I (C)show respect for Mom and Dad,
For (G)family members too,
I (D)say, "Good morning, everyone", [Good morning, everyone!]
(C)And ask, "How are (G)you?" [How are you?]
I (C)say, "Goodbye" to everyone
(G)When I leave each day, [Goodbye!]
I (D)find by showing love
That I am (C)happier this (G)way!(D)

[Repeat Intro]

Spoken:
[Man:] (Eb)Oh dear, this bus is so (F)crowded,

[Man:] (Eb)Oh! Why yes, little girl (F)What kind manners!
[Girl:] (D)Oh, you're welcome, Sir!

[Repeat chorus]

I (C)know that keeping clean
Is always (G)part of manners too,
I (D)wash my hands before I eat
And (C)keep my hair combed (G)too!
(C)Doing unto others
As I'd (G)have them do to me [Here's a kiss for you] -
(D)This is love and kindness
And the (C)loving way to (G)be!(D)
