No Bow, No Go!

Sarah Jane is a really sweet girl
She's got all her "yes, mam's" in tow
She's good to her brothers
To her mom and dad, too
And with a bow she's good to go
"No, bow, no go!"
Sarah Jane you know the rules
"No, bow, no go!"
With the bow she's really cool
Dad says it's a Southern thing
And momma knows a bow's gotta certain swing
So, "No, bow, no go!"
Every family has its rules

Well, in her closet are pretty things
Necklaces, bracelets and one or two rings
Skirts and dresses and shiny new shoes
And a basket full of ribbons for any hairdo
Oh, "No, bow, (no bow) no go!" (no go)
Sarah Jane you know the rules
"No, bow, (no bow) no go!" (no go)

With the bow she's really cool
Dad says it's a Southern thing
And momma knows a bow's gotta certain swing
So, "No, bow, no go!"
Every family has its rules

Monday through Friday
She wakes with the sun
There's time for breakfast and
Some sibling fun
Then it's time to wash up
And get ready to go
She's got her backpack
Her lunch bag and a sparkly bow

Oh, "No, bow, (no bow) no go!" (no go)
Sarah Jane you know the rules
"No, bow, (no bow) no go!" (no go)
With the bow she's really cool
Well, dad says it's a Southern thing
And momma knows a bow's gotta certain swing
So, "No, bow, (no bow) no go!" (no go)
Every family has its rules

Dad says it's a Southern thing
And momma knows a bow's gotta certain swing
So, "No, bow, (no bow) no go!" (no go)
Every family has its rules (no, bow, no go)
Every family has its rules (no, bow, no go)
Every family has its rules
