I told you so, but you wouldn't listen. You said, "I know," but you really didn't. Your music's too loud In fact it's absurd. When I turn around you flip me the bird. Comb your hair. I think you smell. You better be good or you're going to hell. Your friends are wild, they must drink booze. Tuck in your shirt and polish your shoes. Be in by ten and don't be late If you are, it'll be a mistake. Mind your manners, stay on your toes. Be sure to be good, don't pick your nose. Be sure to obey, don't pick your pimples. Stay away From girls with dimples. Don't go far. It's getting late Forget the car and forget your date. When I was young we were in by seven Now you expect to stay 'til eleven? Get off the phone we need to talk. When I was young we had to walk. Read a book. Study your lessons. Learn to cook And count your blessin's. Mind your manners, don't chew gum. What do you want? You look like a bum. You're lazy, incompetent, useless, and crazy. If you ever did anything, it'd amaze me. We both love you, we really do. But you need to respect an elder or two. You never listen to a thing I say you go ahead and do it anyway.
