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
