Kids!  
You can talk and talk till your face is blue!  
Kids!  
But they still just do what they want to do!  
Why can’t they be like we were,  
Perfect in every way?  
What’s the matter with kids today?

I’m thinkin’ of the kids in the knickerbockers  
Shirt-tail young ones, peekin’ in the pool hall window after school  
You got trouble, folks  
Right here in River City, trouble with a capital “T”  
And that rhymes with “P” and that stands for pool
