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
