Lyrics
Be Good
Encourages being good
Always be good
Emphasizes the importance of always being good
If you're not sure
Suggests uncertainty, advising to choose goodness
You'd better be good
Warns that if uncertain, it's safer to be good
Bee good
Playful repetition of the theme to "bee good," possibly a wordplay on "be good"
Always be good
Reiterates the importance of always being good
When you see the monkey
Mentions encountering a monkey, advising to remain good
Just be good
Encourages goodness upon encountering challenges or difficulties
Don't listen to your fear
Advises against succumbing to fear, promoting courage
Don't marry that killer
Warns against marrying someone dangerous or harmful
Don't ever be weak
Discourages weakness, promoting strength
As it should be
Suggests that being good is the natural and right way
And when they catch you
Addresses a situation where someone is caught
When they catch you
Repeats the idea of being caught, emphasizing the importance of goodness
Always be good
Advises to remain good even when caught, for self-protection
Then no one can ever hurt you
Asserts that being good prevents harm from others
When they put you in jail
Addresses a situation of being put in jail
Oh, never wail
Encourages resilience and not expressing sorrow when in difficult situations
Always be good
Reiterates the importance of always being good, even in challenging circumstances
Never lose your way
Advises not to lose one's moral direction or values
Be good
Reiterates the main theme of being good
Always be good
Emphasizes the ongoing commitment to goodness
Fight the devil
Encourages standing against evil or negativity
And then be good
Suggests that after confronting negativity, one should return to being good
