Bye Bye Birdie - Original Broadway Cast: Kids

Kids - Paul Lynde/Marijane Maricle

Kids

I don't know what's wrong with these kids today

Kids who can understand anything they say

Kids they are disobedient disrespectful oafs

Noisy crazy sloppy lazy loafers

And while we're on the subject

Kids you can talk and talk till your face is blue

Kids 'cause they still do just 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 don't mind the moonlight swims

If I look the loop that hurts

Kids how we ever beat the Russians

Kids I didn't know what puberty was

It was almost past it

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
