lyrics
While some folks were having a me generation
We went and had ourselves a we generation
Some said degeneration,
It was THE generation
Of the Twentieth Century
The folks from the Cokes and Pepsi generation
Kept singin' bout my my my g- gee generation
But the we generation is the regeneration
Of the Twentieth Century.
Now a generation is a bunch of people
All born at the same time
But our generation is a big generation
We were all born at some point or another.
Before they began to discuss generation
We had ourselves a spontaneous generation
And the us generation was thus generation
Of the Twentieth Century.
This generation went to market
And this generation stayed home
And this generation had roast beef
And this generation had none
And this generation went we we we all the way home
Well, an you beat that?
No
I said, can you beat that?
I don't think so.
People talk about a blank generation
Puttin' money in the bank generation
Puttin' gas in the tank generation
Hoochie coo and hanky pank generation
People talk about a generation gap
When people talk, the generation rap
When people tip, the generation trap
That's when people trip into the generation trap
While people still talk about the past generation
And livin' life in the fast generation
There's a vast generation,
It's the last generation of the Twentieth Century.
'Cause while some folks were having a me generation
We went and had ourselves a we generation
Some said degeneration,
It was THE generation
Of the Twentieth Century
Of the Twentieth Century
La la la la, etc.
I don't care how old you are,
but you gotta get up in the mornin'.
I don't care how old you are,
but you polly wolly doodle all the day.
(The decadence of the decade
The decadence of the decade age.)
