Haven’t I told you that the most important thing,

To a peasant or a king,

Is his honour

Is his honour

And the best you’ve got to give

For as long as you shall live

Is your honour

Is your honour

If you promise to do something, you must do it

Though you might rue it, you must stick to it

And once you give your word, you cannot erase it,

Cannot replace it

You must simply face it.

That a promise is a promise

And the promise that you make, is a promise you don’t break

Yes, a promise is a promise

I keep my word, make no mistake

Yes, a promise is a promise

And the promise that you make is a promise you don’t break

Yes, a promise is a promise

To keep your word is no mistake

Haven’t I told you that a promise is a promise?

Yes, sir...

And don’t I scold you when you forget?

Yes, sir...

Then, you aren’t listening or paying attention

For it seems you haven’t learned the lesson yet.

That a promise is a promise

And the promise that you make is a promise you don’t break

Yes, a promise is a promise

To give your word, is no mistake

If you promise to do something -

You must do it.

Though you might rue it,

You must stick to it.

And once you give your word of honour,

Don’t erase it.

Do not replace it.

That would just disgrace it.

For a promise is a promise

And the promise that you make is a promise you don’t break

Yes, a promise is a promise

To give your word is no mistake

Promise?

Promise!
