All hopped in the car
And maybe show it off to a couple of friends
And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
And this girl's hand was steadily moving up my thigh
And those who weren't laughing still had a ball
And to make this long story short short
And when I walked into school, it was just as I thought
As I walked down the hall
Beside, would a lunatic have a Porsche like this?"
Come to find out the girl was a twelve year old runaway
For the next six hours I tried to explain to my Mom
I almost had a heart attack that day
I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips!
I can't believe it, I just made a mistake
I didn't say nothing at first
I got home and told my Mom how my day went
I got my grip, I said, "Ah, Mom, Dad, how was your trip?"
I picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talking
I pulled up to the corner at the end of my block
I remember one year
I said, "C'mon toots my name is the Prince =
I said, "I want to plead my case"
I said, "Mom, let's put these clothes back, please"
I said, "Mom, this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar!"
I said, "This isn't Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I'm not Bowzer
I said, "Yeah"
I'll just take it for a little spin
Inevitably the first day of school came
It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister
Mom, please put back the bell bottom Brady Bunch trousers
My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
My mom took me school shopping
My mother buying me clothes from 1963
My parents had to come off from vacation to get me
My parents walked in
My parents went away on a week's vacation and
Oh kay, here's the situation
Parents just don't understand
Pay attention, here's the thick of the plot
She agreed and we were on our way
She had opened up three buttons on her shirt so far
She put her hand on my knee, I put my foot on the gas
She said, "Drive fast, speed turns me on"
She said, "Was that for me?"
She said, "What's wrong? This shirt cost $20"
She said, "Why?"
She said, "You're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet"
She wasn't moved everything stayed the same
So to you all the kids all across the land
So to you all the kids all across the land
So to you, all the kids all across the land
Take it from me
That I was gonna have to go through this about 200 more times
That was a hard ride home, I don't know how I survived
The kids were cracking up laughing at the clothes Mom bought
The next half hour was the same old thing
The sun roof was open, the music was high
There was nothing I could do, I tried to relax
There's no need to argue
There's no need to argue
They didn't speak
They don't understand that us kids
They left the keys to the brand new Porsche
They took turns
Umm, well, of course not
We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
Well parents are the same no matter time nor place
Well, maybe I shouldn't
Yeah, of course I should
You could be some deranged lunatic"
You know parents are the same
You should've seen this girl's bodily dimensions
"Cause they're not good friends"
