"Say A Good Word" lyrics

Now brother, won't you say
One good word to a brother today
I know you say that you just don't care
And saying good things is awfully square
But say it anyway

Hey sister, won't you say
One good word to a sister today
I know you think that you're much too fly
And you're riding kinda high
But say it anyway

Yeah, say a good word to your neighbor
Say good word for your friend
Say a good word to that stranger
You may need them in the end

Oh mother, won't you say
One good word to your daughter today
I know you're working to keep it uptight
But let her know when she does something right
Say it anyway

Hoo father, won't you say
One good word to your son today
I know you're busy making ends meet
But you're the one that he really needs
So, say it anyway

Say it, say it, say a good word to your neighbor
And say good word to your friend
Say a good word to that stranger
You may need them in the end

Now brother, won't you say
One good word to a brother today
I know you say that you just don't care
And saying good things seems awful square
But say it anyway

La-la, la, la, la, la

Hey hey, sister, won't you say
One good word to a sister today
I know you think that you're much too fly
And you're riding kinda high
But say it anyway

Say a good word to your neighbor
And say at least one good word to your friend
Say a good word to that stranger
You're gonna need them in the end

Mmmm, mama, won't you say
One good word to a sister today, yeah yeah
Just say it, just say it
Say a good word to your neighbor
Just say it, just say it
Don't you be afraid
Just say it, just say it

La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la
