Intro
N.C.
Wake up kids, it's half past the youth
Ain't nothin' really changin' but the date
You're a grand slammer, but you're no Babe Ruth
You gotta learn how to relate
Or you'll be swingin' from the pearly gate
Yeah, I got all the answers, lo and behold I got the right key baby
But the wrong key hole, yo
