Allan Sherman - Crazy Downtown lyrics

rate me

(Parody of "Downtown" by Petula Clark)<br />

Mommy and Dad are never nervous or mad<br />

When you teenagers go downtown.<br />

Daddy and Mom just stay at home and be calm<br />

And watch the late late show uptown.<br />

Cause when you kids are gone we get to spend some time alone here<br />

That's our only chance to use the bathtub or the phone here<br />

When you're away<br />

Besides, we're stuck where we are<br />

Because you kids took our money, you kids took our car and went<br />

Downtown, where can you possibly<br />

Downtown, it's twenty after three<br />

Downtown, what do you mean by, "Let's fruck"?<br />

You don't come home till 4 AM cause you're roaming<br />

In the streets somewhere, downtown.<br />

We would feel swell if only someone would tell us<br />

What goes on down there, downtown.<br />

But every time we ask you what you're doing after dark there<br />

You just say that you were frucking to Petula Clark there<br />

That's what I mean<br />

So, kids, give your folks a break<br />

Because you're driving us crazy, we sit here all night and take<br />

Pill town, swallowing pills so we'll<br />

Calm down, counting the hours you're<br />

Downtown, you and your fruck and your slop.<br />

While we're lying there we try to watch the television<br />

Then you call us up and say you've had a slight collision<br />

There goes the car<br />

Besides that you've been arrested<br />

So we've got to get up, and we've got to get dressed and go<br />

Downtown, borrow a car and go<br />

Downtown, that's where you are, you finks,<br />

Downtown, wait 'till I get you kids home.<br />

(Spoken) There'll be no more frucking, no swing, no jerk, no mashed potato, no slop! And you know what else? You're gonna stay home tonight, and your mother and I are going downtown and we're going to dance the tango, and the waltz, and the foxtrot, and we're gonna do the bunny hop. That's a nice dance! And there'll be no more frucking! Is that quite clear? NO MORE FRUCKING!
