Your teacher used to learn in school how a cow flies over the moon

Your teacher used to learn in school how a dish runs away with a spoon. 

So you can't blame the youth. 

And you can't fool the youth. 

You can't blame the youth of today. 

You teacher used teach about Christopher Colombus and you said he was a very great man. 

You used to teach about Marco Polo and you said he was a very great man. 

So you can't blame the youth. 

And you can't fool the youth. 

You can't blame the youth of today. 

When every Christmas comes around you buy the youth a fancy toy --. 

When every Christmas comes around you buy the youth a fancy toy --. 

So you can't blame the youth. 

And you can't fool the youth. 

You can't blame the youth, not at all. 

Your teacher used teach about Pirate Hawkins and you said he was a very great man. 

Your teacher used teach about Pirate Morgan and you said he was a great man. 

You teacher used teach about Christopher Colombus and you said he was a very great man. 

You teacher used teach about Marco Polo, you said he was a very great man. 

So you can't blame the youth. 

Oh, not at all
