Every time that I mention
The good times they are missing
These Young Whipper Snappers get bored
You'd think with me talking
That I was speaking Martian
Them thinking me out of my gourd
They can't fathom a time
With T.V. black and white
Where all day only three channels played
And at the days end
They'd play the anthem
With the rest of the night being the ant race
Or of a telephone
Rotary with dial tone
Where the calls were cheaper at night
These Young Whipper Snaps
Have no idea
How good we had it in life
With no microwave
To heat up a plate
It was all done slow on the stove
Like warm milk at night
To help you sleep tight
That's a pleasure that they'll never know
Or going 90 in Dad's car
With kids as wild as we were
Jumping back and forth between seats
The only need for restrant
Was a roll of duct tape
Or a trunk that's at least three kid deep
Where moms kicked us outside
Saying see you at dinner time
And you better stay out of trouble
If I need you before then
And you hear the bell ring
Your **** best be home on the double
With information overload
Today's fads come and go
All in the blink of an eye
Life these day's is in the crapper
For these Young Whipper Snappers
With no idea of what is a good time
