know he'll have a question or two Like,
Chorus:
Hey, pop, can I go ride my zoom?
It goes two hundred miles an hour,
Suspended on balloons
And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue?
And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs?
And I must be permissive,
Understanding of the younger generation

And then I'll know that all I've learned
My kid assumes
And all my deepest worries
Must be his cartoons,
And still I'll try to tell him
All the things I've done
Relating to what he can do
When he becomes a man
And still, he'll stick his fingers in the fan.
And hey, pop, my girlfriend's only three,
She's got her own videophone,
And she's taking LSD
And now that we're best friends,
She wants to give a bit to me
But what's the matter, daddy,
How come you're turning green?
Can it be that you can't live up to your dreams?
