lyrics

Jim and Jerry Johnson liked to collect bugs
Caterpillars beetles earthworms pill bugs slugs
They’d pull their legs and clip their wings
Until their mother told them to respect all things

Hey, it doesn’t matter if they’re green or blue
They weren’t doing any harm to you
Treat others the way you’d want to be treated, too
Follow the golden rule

I went to my sister asked her for a simple favour
She said “I’m very busy, we’ll take about it later”
I said “But it’s important, it cannot wait”
She was fiddling with her phone and playing video games!

Hey, I’m a person that you’re talking to
And this will only take a minute or two
Treat others the way you want to be treated, too
Follow the golden rule

Buddha said it
Zoroaster said it
Confucius said it
Jesus said it
The Talmud said it
The Vedas said it
Muhammad said it, peace be upon him
Your momma said it

Hey, it’s not opinion or a point of view
It’s a simple universal truth
Treat others the way you want to be treated, too
Follow the golden rule
