- Description
- This song is based on an old traditional song teaching good behaviour. "To keep a dog one must be wise-if you take a stick it will run away. In the same way we must be tactful with our wives. If we use force, we shall fail to control them. A bad wife is not neccessarily the one who talks too much, and a good wife is not neccessarily one who talks less. By all means, let us see what we see, but we should not give our ears to everything we hear." The singer adds: "I heard this song from the Lala." The whole song is performed in a kind of recitative with call and answer. Morality song with guitar and bottle.
