Mom and Dad are always right

And I am always wrong

They tell me that I eat too much

And that I take too long

My grades at school aren't good enough

I don't do what I should

They tell me that I'm pretty dumb

I guess I'm not so good

They yell at me and tell me

That I disobey their rules;

I sleep too much I miss the bus

I'm always late for school

When we go out to dinner

I always spill my drink

I drop my spoon and spill my soup;

Was born this was they think

Mom and Dad are always right

And I am always wrong

They tell me that I eat too much

And that I take too long

My grades at school aren't good enough

I don't do what I should

They tell me that I'm pretty dumb

I guess I'm not so good

Dad says he was stronger

When he was half my age

Mom never got dirty when

She went out to play

I guess they both were perfect kids

When they were young like me;

They always did what they were told

And that's how I should be

Mom and Dad are always right

And I am always wrong

They tell me that I eat too much

And that I take too long

My grades at school aren't good enough

I don't do what I should

They tell me that I'm pretty dumb

I guess I'm not so good

I guess I'm just a naughty boy

That's what they always say

Then they wonder why it is

That I turned out this way

But you can't be perfect all the time

You can't always be good

Everybody makes mistakes

And everybody should

Mom and Dad aren't always right

And I'm not always wrong

I don't think that I eat too much

Or that I take too long

And one thing that I know for sure

That they don't understand;

I'm smarter than my Mommy

And Daddy think I am

Mom says that I'm clumsy

And I'm just a little brat;

Somehow I accidentally spill

My milk into her lap

Dad says I'm no help at all

I just get in his way;

So when I should be helping him

I go outside and play
