Stealing Cigarettes, Etc (A Kid's Complaint)
I've been stealing cigarettes again.
You think it isn't nice -
You can hardly blame me though,
Considering the price!
I stayed out most of Saturday night
And gave my parents quite a fright.
They're really strict and mean
And always have to make a scene -
I tried to tell them it's alright
And there's no need to get uptight;
But they always moan and complain,
It's driving me insane!
Next time they ask me where I've been
I'll slam the door and start to scream!
