The kid's a mess, the kid's a mess The kid's a mess, the kid's a mess hey
Hi-tops heading for the Old Bailey Curtains is in the out tray Stocking tops is singing like a canary Ain't nothing gonna save you and me
All the aggravation's doing me in I'm looking forward to doing time in Sing-Sing You crawled forth from your stately home You crawled forth, now you're crawling back again
The kid's a mess hey The kid's a mess
Janet steals, Johnny drives a stolen car All the hormones are making them go too far The parents they don't know what to do Kids today are crazy, through and through
