The Other Generation (Reprise) 歌詞
The Other Generation (Reprise) - Miyoshi Umeki/Broadway Cast
Written by：Rodgers/Hammerstein
Well the more I see of grownups
The less I want to grow
The more I see what they have learned
The less I want to know
And yet we've got to all grow up
There's no place else to go
I wonder why we're all so poor
And they've got all the dough
What are we going to do about
The other generation
How will ever communicate
Without communication
When we are using words the modern way
They're much too big to try to dig
The colorful things we say
If we could take over the training of
The other generation
We know we could improve them quite a lot
But they will never let us
They stay the way they met us
And so we're simply stuck with what we've got
You can't improve them
The kids are simply stuck with what they've got
What are we going to do about
The other generation
How are we going to stop them when
They start an explanation
Of "What is used to mean to be a kid "
The clean and wholesome fun they had
The innocent things they did
They all had a wonderful childhood in
The other generation
The games they played were
Bright and gay and loud
They used to shout red rover
Red rover please come over
They must have been an awful
Droopy crowd when they were younger
They must have been an awful droopy crowd
