Текст песни Bill Haley & His Comets - Teenager’s Mother (1956)

All the dance you did, when you used to be a kid
Teenager's mother don't turn gray
Don't think your Johnny's gonna stray
What put a stop to roll and rock?
You know it's not a simple way
Teenager's mother, are you right?
Teenager's mother, are you right?
'Cause the same thing that's worrying you
Is the same thing you used to do yourself

That rockin' music you call bad
It was just about all Johnny had
But with a shout, you threw it out
And so you made your Johnny sad
Teenager's mother, are you right?
Teenager's mother, are you right?
'Cause the same thing that's worrying you
Is the same thing you used to do yourself

Did you forget so soon
How much you loved to do the Charleston?
And when you were young, out on a date
Did you ever come home late?

Now we won't say who's right or wrong
But here's the moral of this song
It can't be bad, what makes you glad
And you are only young so long
Teenager's mother, are you right?
Teenager's mother, are you right?
'Cause the same thing that's worrying you
Is the same thing you used to do yourself
Do yourself
'Cause the same thing that's worrying you
Is the same thing you used to do yourself
Do yourself
Do yourself
Do yourself
