Thread Name: BS: Infrequently Asked Questions
Subject: Lyr Add: KIDS (from Bye Bye Birdie)
Seriousness is as seriousness does. And for some reason, I just don't wanna be that serious tonight.

So, that said, I give you fair warning that I'm gonna post a song in this here little ole BS thread-

And heeeerre it is!

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!
While we're on the subject:
Kids!
You can talk and talk till 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?
Kids!
I've tried to raise him the best I could
Kids! Kids!
Laughing, singing, dancing, grinning, morons!
And while we're on the subject!
Kids! They are just impossible to control!
Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock an' roll!
Why can't they dance like we did
What's wrong with Sammy Caine?
What's the matter with kids today!

Who knows the name of the musical that this song comes from AND the name of the actor or actress who sang it?

No fair using a search engine...

Oh, what the heck. Go ahead and google this question. After all, it's not like this is a real contest.

This is just a Mudcat thread. Right? Right!
