Marty Robbins
Teenager’s Dad
[Verse 1]
Well, I gave a little party for some kids on the block
Had lemonade and the music was a-hot
I started feeling rhythm running up my spine
Well, I'm a little past thirty but I'm doing just fine
Everybody was a-jumping, shaking like mad
I had to get aware that I'm a teenager's dad
[Verse 2]
Started with a wiggle, and a rock 'n' roll
Got everything it takes to knock 'em all cold
All of the kittens want to dance with me
They dig my movement but they just can't see
How a teenager's daddy can rattle up four
But they keep on yelling and a-beggin' for more
[Verse 3]
Well, the longer I go, I know the better I can do
I gotta start a style before I can get through
Everybody gather around because I'm just gettin' right
I'm gonna show everybody how to twist it all night
Well I'm a red-hot papa, I don't wanna brag
But get a-load of this daddy with a teenage drag
[Verse 4]
In the middle of the party is where I belong
The middle of the night and I'm still going strong
Everybody gettin' tired and wantin' to go
I'm just gettin' started gonna put them on the show
Well, what a wonderful time everyone has had
Shaking and a-twistin' with a teenager's dad
