No, No, No!

NO, NO, NO!

Kid: Hey Dad? Can I have a puppy?

Dad: What!? A puppy!?

Cho: No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no, no!

No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no, no!

Nooo, nooo, nooo!

Dad: I never had one when I was your size

You really don't want one who barks and who cries

Who wets on the carpets and chews up my shoes

And they carry diseases, they probably do!

You're just a kid and I forbid you to have a puppy,

Just do as I say, I've explained it to you!

Kid: There's nothin' to do. Can my friend come here to play?

Dad: What!? Can your friend come here to play!?

Chorus

Dad: When you have a friend here there's always such noise

You laugh and you play and you scatter your toys

And this house belongs to us grown-ups you see?

So go play with your crayons or watch the T.V.!

You're just a kid and I forbid you to have any friends here,

Just do as I say, I'm bigger than you!

Kid: Well I'm bored. Can I smoke a cigarette?

Dad: What!? Smoke a cigarette!?

Chorus

Dad: Just because I smoke doesn't mean you

Can huff and puff smoke rings like mature adults do

Smoking is bad for your lungs and your growth

I'm older, I know what is best for us both!

You're just a kid and I forbid you to smoke cigarettes,

(Spoken: Or anything else for that matter!)

Just do as I say, don't do as I do!

Kid: I'm getting angry. I feel like cussing!

Dad: What!? Cussing!?

Chorus

Dad: Damn it all NO! Because children who swear,

Grow up to be stupid asses, so there!

"Tinkle" and "Kaa-kaa" are kid-words to say

Stick with "Pee-pee" and "Poo-poo" and you'll be okay!

You're just a kid and I forbid you to use grown-up cuss words

Just do as I say, dirty words are taboo!

Kid: You never let me do anything! I'm gonna have a tantrum!

Dad: What!? A tantrum!?

Chorus

Dad: That's an idea that's completely absurd

Children should only be seen and not heard!

Just because I yell and shout and sometimes

Kick the cat, kick the chair, and spank your behind,

Well it doesn't mean you, . . have that luxury too!

You have to go through some frustrations you see,

Especially if you want to grow-up like me!

Kids: Chorus

Dad: (Spoken: Hey! Come back here! I'm speaking to you! Don't you slam that door!

You wait until your mother gets home! You unlock this door right now! You're only a child!!

Only grown-ups get to have locked doors!! Open! Open!!)
