Look into the camera
Hide your face
Eyes see
Mouth doesn’t Open
Stand Correct
Never Waver
Always in Line
Don’t Fall
Out of Step
Curls of Black Hair
Must Fall Straight
Kill the Bounce
Sizzlin’ Comb
Burns as it Hisses
Banish the Wild
Curse of Civility
My mother taught me
Scream Silently
Hide your face
Eyes see
Mouth doesn’t Open
Stand Correct
Never Waver
Always in Line
Don’t Fall
Out of Step
Curls of Black Hair
Must Fall Straight
Kill the Bounce
Sizzlin’ Comb
Burns as it Hisses
Banish the Wild
Curse of Civility
My mother taught me
