All the dance you did, when you used to be a kid Teenager's mother don't turn gray Don't think your Johnny's gonna stray What put a stop to roll and rock? You know it's not a simple way Teenager's mother, are you right? Teenager's mother, are you right? 'Cause the same thing that's worrying you Is the same thing you used to do yourself
That rockin' music you call bad It was just about all Johnny had But with a shout, you threw it out And so you made your Johnny sad Teenager's mother, are you right? Teenager's mother, are you right? 'Cause the same thing that's worrying you Is the same thing you used to do yourself
Did you forget so soon How much you loved to do the Charleston? And when you were young, out on a date Did you ever come home late?
Now we won't say who's right or wrong But here's the moral of this song It can't be bad, what makes you glad And you are only young so long Teenager's mother, are you right? Teenager's mother, are you right? 'Cause the same thing that's worrying you Is the same thing you used to do yourself Do yourself 'Cause the same thing that's worrying you Is the same thing you used to do yourself Do yourself Do yourself Do yourself [Fade]
