The Lyrics
This song is sung by a chorus of kids ages 5-16
(Male, 7 years old)
Parents!
I dunno what's wrong with these parents today!
Parents!
They don't let us have fun or play!
(Female, 15 years old)
Parents!
They are unreliable, embarrasing types,
Overprotective, and wierd beyond reason!
And while we're on the subject...
(Female, 10 years old)
Parents!
They've forgotten how a kid's life is
Parents!
They always insist we gotta be busy!
All:
Why can't they be like we are, perfect in every way?
What is wrong with parents today?
(Male, 12 years old)
Parents!
They think the old ways are the best!
Parents!
They don't like Nintendo!
All:
Why can't they play like we do, in a cool high tech way?
What is wrong with parents?
(Female, 15 years old)
Who can understand parents?
All: What is wrong with parents today?
Parents!
I dunno what's wrong with these parents today!
Parents!
They don't let us have fun or play!
(Female, 15 years old)
