And no matter where their heads are they know mom’s aint there. Cause’ I swore when I was small that I’d remember when I knew what’s wrong with them that I was smaller than. Determined to remember all the cardinal rules. Like sunshowers are legal grounds for cuttin’ school. I know I have forgotten maybe one or two. And I hope that I recall them all before the baby’s due. And I’ll know he’ll have a question or two.                 [Chorus] Like hey        pop. Can I go ride my zoom? It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on baloons. And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tounge? And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs. And I must be permissive understanding of the younger generation. [Verse] And then I know that all I’ve learned my kid assumes. And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons And still I’ll try to tell him all the things I’ve done Relating to what he can do when he becomes a man And still he’ll stick his fingers in the fan. [Verse] And hey        pop my girlfriend’s only three She’s got her own videophone and she’s taking L S D. And now that were best friends she wants to give a taste to me But whats the matter daddy? How come you’re turning green? Can it be that you can’t live up to your dreams? (BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE BECAUSE WE’RE LIVING IT)

La chanson évoque la différence de perceptions entre les générations. L'artiste se remémore avec une certaine nostalgie les règles et les croyances de son enfance, tout en réalisant que la jeunesse de maintenant vit dans un monde bien différent. Il aborde avec humour les questions déconcertantes que lui poserait son enfant, illustrant à quel point les préoccupations des plus jeunes peuvent sembler étranges ou inattendues pour les adultes. Dans un ton léger, il souligne que malgré les inquiétudes que l'on peut avoir en tant que parent, il est essentiel d'adopter une attitude ouverte face aux expériences et aux curiosités de la nouvelle génération. L'implication de l'adulte dans la vie de l'enfant et la transmission des connaissances se heurtent à la réalité de l'innocence et de la désinvolture de la jeunesse.
