Lyrics

Was it time to make a change?
You said go, own your content
I’m so old, I said sure
I thought you could sell some mugs
And now you’re here, making fun
Was I that bad a parent?
Don’t talk back, just shut up, ride the pony

I would just like to explain
It’s just one minor complaint
You never took the time to teach me about bowling
Years at Harvard and at Penn and after all that tuition
Now what I know is a lot about Tiger’s swing
I know I’d rather golf

After "Father and Son" by Yusuf Islam

    "I thought you could sell some mugs" really made me laugh for some reason. Well, the reason is that it's funny - it just made me laugh more than I expected is what I'm saying. (Points deducted for lack of intro paragraph.)
