Settle down and eat your peas and gravy, my boy
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down
Stop wasting all your time with running around the town
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down

Knuckle down and find a job and take some responsibility
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down
The future's something you should be thinking about
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down

Look around for a wife to start a family, my boy
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down
Listen to your father and he'll tell you the same as me
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down

Your words would go in one ear and out the other side
Don't say, 'My head was empty and I had things to hide'

Your words would go in one ear and out the other side
Don't say, 'My head was empty and I had things to hide'

And you better put away somethin' for your old age
So settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down
So settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down
Settle down, settle down, my boy, settle down
Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down
