What Is This Generation Coming To?

In the U.S.A the teenager have the country in confusion

In the U.S.A the teenager have the country in confusion

Rock and rolling all of the time

Have the parents out of their mind

Parents liking Liberace

Kids is liking Elvis Presley

So they rock and rolling night and day

Bouncing up and down in the way they do

The parents shaking their head and say

What is this generation coming to?

All the parents say their children will grow up to be delinquents so

If the children only dance to the rock and roll and the calypso

Parents tell them they should only

Like the opera and symphony

But the young kids are too busy

Digging Mr. Belafonte

So they rock and rolling night and day

Bouncing up and down in the way they do

The parents shaking their head and say

What is this generation coming to?

When the kids is bouncing up to the jukebox like the monkeys and frogs

All the newspapers they say that the teenager's going to the dogs

But the kids don't go to the dogs

That's the truth and these are the facts

All the girls is changing to chicks

All the fellows changing to cats

So they rock and rolling night and day

Bouncing up and down in the way they do

The parents shaking their head and say

What is this generation coming to?
