(Partly a 'talking blues') 1) Oh, not all the time, but every now and then .. don'cha wish you could trade your parents in? Tell the truth now. Well .. you got this place in your own cerebellum Where you can trade 'em for a while (but you can't ever sell 'em!) But next time you get mad, just walk right up and tell 'em .. "Gonna take you, Mom 'n Pop, to the Mom 'n Pop Swap Shop .. Gonna trade you in!" Cause sometimes, you're heartless, you know .. sorta unsentimental .. and you don't hear a thing I say. CHORUS Time to take mom and pop to the Mon n' Pop Swap Shop .. and trade 'em in today .. ('Cause) They've got .. Fat ones, skinny ones .. frowny ones and grinny ones .. Fancy suit and tie, Tee shirt, and tie-dye ones. Tall or itty-bitty ones .. country ones and city ones .. At the Mom 'n Pop Swap Shop .. gonna get me some! 2) Well I told my folks I needed the car. I was going to New York to become a Rock Star. And in their insensitive parently way, they said .. "Oh, that sounds great .. but you can't go today. Ask us again, 12 years from next May .. maybe by then .. You'll have warshed your underware!" Now that's heartless .. imaginative as a toadstool .. and you don't hear a thing I say. CHO 3) Well I just asked 'em for a Smurf and designer jeans .. Seventeen albums by Bruce Springsteen .. And, oh, a purple Mohawk .. I just had to try .. and if they wouldn't let me do it .. I'd probably die .. And they said, "What a shame! We're bound to cry .. we'll miss you on Halloween!" Hah .. now that's heartless .. tough as rhinoceros hide .. and you don't hear a word I say. CHO 4) Well I told my folks .. "Don't get so mad! It scares me when you holler .. and it makes me sad." Well they said, in their insensitive parently way .. "Oh, you'll understand when you're big someday .." Well, I don't wanna GET big .. if I have to act that way .. It makes me feel so bad! And it's heartless .. hard boiled as a duc egg .. and you don't hear a word I say. CHO Yes, they've got .. Fat ones, skinny ones .. frowny ones and grinny ones .. Fancy suit and tie, Tee shirt, and tie-dye ones. Tall or itty-bitty ones .. country ones and city ones .. At the Mom 'n Pop Swap Shop .. gonna get me some!
