Kids

Kids!
 I don't know what's wrong with these kids today
 Kids!
 Who can understand anything they say?
 Kids!
 They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs
 Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy loafers
 And while we're on the subject
 Kids!
 You can talk and talk till' your face is blue
 Kids!
 But they still do just what they want to do
 Why can't they be like we were?
 Perfect in every way
 What's the matter with kids today?!
 Kids!
 I've tried to raise you the best I could!
 Kids!
 All the things I've done were for your own good!
 Kids!
 Can't you once appreciate how I've sacrificed?!
 Working, slaving, scrimping, saving, pennies!
 (And living with your father)
 Kids!
 No one know the burdens I've had to bear
 (And in my condition)
 Kids!
 I'm a poor sick woman and does he care?!
 (Hah!)
 Go on, go on and kill me!
 That's what it's coming to!
 When a mother has kids like you!
 Kids! (All the chicken soup that I made for you!)
 (Momma take it easy!)
 Kids! (Now you throw me out, like a worn out shoe!)
 Not in front of everybody mom!
 After all I haven't been such an awful son!
 I never sass you back! Or leave a ring around the bath tub
 And don't I always phone you?
 Kids!
 You can give your life to them night and day
 Kids!
 Then they go get married and move away!
 (Who's getting married?!)
 Why do we have these children?!
 Better to have a pet!
 (You know where you stand with the pet...)
 I never asked for nothing
 Nothing is what you get!
 What's the matter with kids
 To-
 I tried Lou, but I failed
 Oh, you didn't mama, you didn't!
 Don't try to pay me back sonny, I forgive you
 So what if you're an ingrate?!
 So long as you're happy!
 I don't wanna be happy!
 Don't feel guilty, just make believe I'm an old, used car!
 Junk me! Leave me in the gutter!
 Oh, I'll never leave you, never!
 (You heard him you're a witness!)
 My promise mama! I never broke a promise to my mama!
 Good boy!
 Why can't they be like Albert?!
 (Perfect in every way!)
 Whats the matter with kids?
 Yeah what's the matter with kids?!
 Nothing's the matter with kids today!
