Randy Newman
Korean Parents
[Intro]
Kids today got problems
Like their parents never had
Neighborhoods are dangerous
The public schools are bad
At home there are distractions so irresistible
The hours fly by, no work gets done
Some Jewish kids still trying
Some white kids trying too
But millions of real American kids
Don't have a clue
Right here on the lot, we got the answer
Product guaranteed to satisfy

[Verse 1]
Korean parents for sale
You say you're not all that you wanna be
You say you got a bad environment
Your work at school's not going well

[Verse 2]
Korean parents for sale
You say you need a little discipline
Someone to whip you into shape
They'll be strict but they'll be fair
[Bridge]
Look at the numbers, that's all I ask
Who's at the head of every class?
You really think they're smarter than you are?
They just work their asses off, their parents make them do it

[Verse 3]
Oh, learn to play the violin
Oh, to turn your homework in right on time
What a load off your back that will be

[Chorus]
No tears, no regret
Never forget who sent Fido to the farm
The greatest generation
Your parents aren't the greatest generation
So sick of hearing 'bout the greatest generation
That generation could be you
So let's see what you can do
Korean parents and you

[Outro]
