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

The Kid's a mess
