When you were a child, you were treated kind, but you were never brought up right You were always spoiled with a thousand toys, but still you cried all night Your mother who neglected you, owes a million dollars tax And your father’s still perfecting ways of making sealing wax You better stop and look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown ---
