Crazy Downtown
Allan Sherman

Mommy and Dad are never nervous or mad

When you teenagers go, downtown

Daddy and Mom just stay at home and be calm

And watch the late, late show, uptown


'Cause when you kids are gone

We get to spend some time alone here

That's our only chance to use

The bathtub or the phone here


When you're away

Besides, we're stuck where we are

Because you kids took our money

You kids took our car and went


Downtown, where can you possibly

Downtown, it's twenty after three

Downtown, what do you mean by, Let's frug?


You don't come home till 4 a.m. 'cause you're roaming

In the streets somewhere, downtown

We would feel swell if only someone would tell us

What goes on down there, downtown


But every time we ask you

What you're doing after dark there

You just say that you were fruging

To Petula Clark there


That's what I mean

So, kids, give your folks a break

Because you're driving us crazy

We sit here all night and take


Pill town, swallowing pills

So we'll calm down, counting the hours you're

Downtown, you and your frug and your flop


While we're lying there

We try to watch the television

Then you call us up

And say you've had a slight collision


There goes the car

Besides that you've been arrested

So we've got to get up

And we've got to get dressed and go


Downtown, borrow a car and go

Downtown, that's where you are, you finks

Downtown, wait 'til I get you kids home


There'll be no more fruging

No swing, no jerk

No mashed potato, no flop

And you know what else?


You're gonna stay home tonight

And your mother and I are going downtown

And we're going to dance the tango

And the waltz and the foxtrot

And we're gonna do the bunny hop


That's a nice dance

And there'll be no more fruging

Is that quite clear?

No more fruging
