I Learned Not To Lie

I'm glad dad spanked me,
His lessons help me get by.
Dad's hand made me a man,
And I learned  not to lie.

From spankings that burned,
Many lessons had I learned.
If he'd just slapped my hand,
I wouldn't be the man I am.

Today they enforce the law,
There's no spanking at all.
What used to correct a mind,
They're now calling a crime.

I'm glad dad spanked me,
His lessons help me get by.
Dad's hand made me a man,
And I learned not to lie.

So many go to extremes,
And say a spanking's mean.
But it took my daddy's hand,
Before I could understand.

A little spanking can go far,
But shouldn't leave any scars.
To teach a child what's right,
Is more than words and sight.

I'm glad dad spanked me,
His lessons help me get by.
Dad's hand made me a man,
And I learned not to lie.
