Brown shoes don't make it
|
Brown shoes don't make it
|
Quit school, why fake it
|
Brown shoes don't make it
|
TV dinner by the pool
|
Watch your brother grow a beard
|
Got another year of school
|
You're okay, he's too weird
|
Be a plumber
|
He's a bummer
|
He's a bummer every summer
|
Be a loyal plastic robot
|
For a world that doesn't care
|
That's right
|
Smile at every ugly
|
Shine on your shoes and cut your hair
|
|
Be a jerk - go to work
|
Be a jerk - go to work
|
Be a jerk - go to work
|
Be a jerk - go to work
|
Do your job, and do it right
|
Life's a ball
|
TV tonight
|
Do you love it
|
Do you hate it
|
There it is
|
The way you made it
|
|
A world of secret hungers
|
Perverting the men who make your laws
|
Every desire is hidden away
|
In a drawer in a desk by a Naugahyde chair
|
On a rug where they walk and drool
|
Past the girls in the office
|
|
Hratche-plche, hratche-plche
|
Hratche-plche...
|
|
We see in the back
|
Of the City Hall mind
|
The dream of a girl about thirteen
|
Off with her clothes and into a bed
|
Where she tickles his fancy
|
All night long
|
|
His wife's attending an orchid show
|
She squealed for a week to get him to go
|
But back in the bed his teen-age queen
|
Is rocking and rolling and acting obscene
|
Baby baby...
|
Baby baby...
|
|
Gimme them cakes now, uh!
|
If I do, I'm gonna lose my...
|
|
And he loves it, he loves it
|
It curls up his toes
|
She wipes his fat neck
|
And it lights up his nose
|
But he cannot be fooled
|
Old City Hall Fred
|
She's nasty, she's nasty
|
She digs it in bed
|
That's right
|
|
Do it again, ha
|
And do it some more
|
Hey, that does it, by golly
|
And she's nasty for sure
|
Nasty nasty nasty
|
Nasty nasty nasty
|
Only thirteen, and she knows how to nasty
|
She's a dirty young mind, corrupted
|
Corroded
|
Well she's thirteen today
|
And I hear she gets loaded
|
If she were my daughter, I'd...
|
What would you do, Frankie?
|
Well, if she were my daughter, I'd...
|
What would you do, Frankie?
|
If she were my daughter, I'd...
|
What would you do, Frankie?
|
Check this out
|
Smother my daughter in chocolate syrup
|
And strap her on again, oh baby
|
Smother that girl in chocolate syrup
|
And strap her on again
|
She's my teen-age baby
|
She turns me on
|
I'd like to make her do a nasty
|
On the White House lawn
|
Smother my daughter in chocolate syrup
|
And boogie 'til the cows come home
|
|
Time to go home
|
Madge is on the phone
|
Gotta meet the Gurneys and a dozen grey attorneys
|
TV dinner by the pool
|
I'm so glad I finished school
|
Life is such a ball
|
I run the world from City Hall
|
