More showtunes

Just in case you thought the showtune section of this blog was over...
This was going through my head this morning, a song from Bye-Bye Birdie, made famous by the incomparable Paul Lynde:
Kids!
I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!
Kids!
Who can understand anything they say?
Kids!
They a disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers!
And while we're on the subject:
Kids!
You can talk and talk 'til your face is blue!
Kids!
But they still just do what they want to do!
Why can't they be like we were,
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?

I love all the showtunes- they are so true that they bring tears to my eyes. They will serve you well when you are rocking him to sleep for many hours in the middle of the night!
