C C                            D7 D7
Why must every generation think their folks are square?
G G C C
And no matter where their heads are they know Moms aint there?
C C D7 D7
Cause I swore when I was small that I'd remember when
G G C C
I knew whats wrong with them that I was smaller then.


C C D7 D7
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules,
G G C C
Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school.
C C D7 D7
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two,
D7 D7 G G C C
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby's due,
D7 D7 G G C C
And I know hell have a question or two.


F F G G C C E E-
Like ``Hey Pop, can I go ride my Zoom?
A A- G G C C E E-
``It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons.
F F G G C C E E-
``And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue,
A A- D7 D7
``And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs?
C C G G A A- D7 D7
G G
And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation.


C C D7 D7
Then I;ll know that all Ive learned my kid assumes,
G G C C
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons,
C C D7 D7
And still Ill try to tell him all the things Ive done
G G C C
Related to what he can do when he becomes a man,
D7 D7 G G C C
And still hell stick his fingers in the fan.


F F G G C C E E-
And ``Hey, Pop, my girlfriends only three,
A A- G G C C E E-
``Shes got her own videophone and shes taking L.S.D.,
F F G G C C E E-
``And now that were best friends she wants to give a bit to me.
F F F7 F7
``But whats the matter Daddy, how come youre turning green?
D7 D7 G G
``Can it be that you cant live up to your dreams?
