Lyrics
Let things be like they always was,
That’s good enough for me.
Let things again be safe and sound,
The way they used to be.
What’s going on? Why is it so bad?
If you ask me, the world is going mad!
Look at these new fangled ideas going round,
Free love, divorce, and birth control.
Young girls smoking cigarettes, their dresses up around their necks,
And men coming in, breaking up decent peoples’ homes.
But it ain’t gonna be that way around here,
You hear? You hear?
If anyone in my house wants that kind of stuff,
Oh no! Oh no!
My kids are gonna be brought up right!
Not running the streets as if they’re wild all night.
In the old days they didn’t carry on that way,
And I’m telling you they ain’t gonna do it today!
With me that stuff will never go!
In my house I run the show!
Let things be like they always was,
That’s good enough for me!
That’s good enough for me!
