We're going to sing one song that you need now.
Because we ain't played no rock and roll so far.
We don't want you to go off thinking that this hasn't been a picnic for us.
We've really been like two kids playing hooky from school this whole trip.
And we'll sing one more song if you won't tell the principal.
This is a song that comes from North Carolina.
Singer-songwriter named Sy Khan.
And the song, why you should teach it to your children so they can use it right back on you.
It's a song for putting parents in their place.
When parents get in that mood that simply says,
Why, when I was a kid, things were really wonderful.
I mean, today things are lousy, but back then, you should have been a kid back then, kid.
I was a kid back then, kid.
And to help to put that idealistic parent in its place.
The chorus says, Daddy, don't you tell no lies.
Talking about the old time ways.
Daddy, don't you tell no lies.
Talking about the good old days, oh yeah.
Talking about the good old days.
