| Oh, the dance you did
|
| When you used to be a kid
|
| Teenager’s mother, don’t turn grey
|
| Don’t think your Johnny’s gonna stray
|
| Why put a stop to roll and rock
|
| You know it’s not a simple way
|
| Teenager’s mother
|
| Are you right
|
| Teenager’s mother
|
| Are you right
|
| 'Cause the same thing
|
| That’s worrying you
|
| Is the same thing
|
| You used to do yourself
|
| That rocking music you call bad
|
| Was just about all Johnny had
|
| But with a shout, you threw it out
|
| And so you made your Johnny sad
|
| Did you forget so soon
|
| How much you loved to do the Charleston
|
| And when you were young out on a date
|
| Didn’t you ever come home late
|
| Now we won’t say who’s right or wrong
|
| But here’s the moral of this song
|
| It can’t be bad if it makes you glad
|
| And you are only young so long
|
| 'Cause the same thing
|
| That’s worrying you
|
| Is the same thing you
|
| Used to do yourself
|
| Do yourself, do yourself
|
| Do yourself, do yourself |
