(Parody of "Downtown" by Petula Clark) Mommy and Dad are never nervous or mad When you teenagers go downtown. Daddy and Mom just stay at home and be calm And watch the late late show, uptown. 'Cause when you kids are gone we get to spend some time alone here That's our only chance to use the bathtub or the phone here When you're away Besides, we're stuck where we are Because you kids took our money, you kids took our car and went Downtown, where can you possibly Downtown, it's twenty after three Downtown, what do you mean by, "Let's frug"? You don't come home till 4 AM cause you're roaming In the streets somewhere, downtown. We would feel swell if only someone would tell us What goes on down there, downtown. But every time we ask you what you're doing after dark there You just say that you were frugging to Petula Clark there That's what I mean So, kids, give your folks a break Because you're driving us crazy, we sit here all night and take Milltown, swallowing pills so we'll Calm down, counting the hours you're Letras de cancionesDowntown, you and your frug and your slop. While we're lying there we try to watch the television Then you call us up and say you've had a slight collision There goes the car Besides that you've been arrested So we've got to get up, and we've got to get dressed and go Downtown, borrow a car and go Downtown, that's where you are, you finks, Downtown, wait 'till I get you kids home. (Spoken) There'll be no more frugging, no swim, no jerk, no mashed potato, no slop! And you know what else? You're gonna stay home tonight, and your mother and I are going downtown and we're going to dance the tango, and the waltz, and the foxtrot, and we're gonna do the bunny hop. That's a nice dance! And there'll be no more frugging! Is that quite clear? NO MORE FRUGGING! From Letras Mania
