The Lyrics

It ain't the moral of the story, it's the proverbs, baby!
Proverbs, proverbs, proverbs all day long
Proverbs can work you out right or wrong
Proverbs can give youe anything you do-o-o-o
Your teachers give advice the same way, too

Lead horses to water, but can't make you drink
Won't count eggs 'til hatched will make you think
can't get the cart before you put a hor-r-rse (sfx: neigh)
Don't put your eggs in one basket, of course

Proverbs, Proverbs, Pro-o-o-o-overbs
They all have advice-a like me & you, and you, too-o-o-o-o
Proverbs, Proverbs, Pro-o-o-o-overbs
Each one can solve a mystery like yo-o-ou
We can solve a problem with the proverb, too-o-o

Proverbs, proverbs, all day long
(repeat)

DKTOS, but I am giving 444 because I am glad to see you a topic different from Video Games. Clever song, really. Keep it up!

Your parody is a word to the wise. Proverbs are so over used that they become meaningless cliches.

I'd praise your effort here, but flattery will get me nowhere.

You must have been listening to Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al Yankovic.
