 In his uniquely humorous way, Jim Rule teaches children to listen to their parents...and their teachers!

“Casey, it’s time to come in!”
WHY?...

Chorus:
Because I said so! Because I said so!
‘Cause I’m the dad and that is all you need to know.
Because I said so! Because I said so!
And that’s as far as this discussion has to go.

“Emma, it’s time to get up!
WHY?...

Chorus:
Because I said so! Because I said so!
‘Cause I’m the dad and that is all you need to know.
Because I said so! Because I said so!
And that’s as far as this discussion has to go.

Although I’m happy to explain, 
There are times I simply must refrain,
And let me make my meaning crystal clear.
I’m the parent. You’re the child.
And though I really hate to cramp your style,
When all is said and done “The buck stops here!”

“Timmy, it’s time to go to bed!”
WHY?…

Chorus:
Because I said so! Because I said so!
‘Cause I’m the dad and that is all you need to know.
Because I said so! Because I said so!
And that’s as far as this discussion has to go.
