“Generation Gap” Lyrics - Jeannie C. Riley

“Generation Gap”


Wa wa wa wa wa wa

When you see a little baby sittin’ on his mama’s lap

Well it’s just the beginnin’ of a thing called the generation gap

It’s not the difference of age now everybody’s talking bout

It’s all those no-no’s that make up the generation gap

Well the grown-ups go out now to parties and get stoned

But that’s somethin’ they won’t talk about around the children at home

But they ain’t foolin’ anybody now cause the kids are gonna find it out

It’s just another reason for the thing called the generation gap

The generation gap is a mighty mighty big hole

You ain’t gonna fill it up with all the lies bein’ told

Wa wa wa you’d better clean your house

If you expect to narrow the generation gap


Wa wa wa wa wa wa

Daddy says that drinkin’ is a sin that we’ll have to pay for

Well then what’s that liquor bottle doin’ in the dash of his car

And who’s the man that calls mama everytime that daddy’s out

Now do you still wonder why we still have the generation gap

The generation gap is a mighty…

Now do you still wonder that we got the generation gap

Wa wa wa wa wa wa a wa wa wa wa wa
