Kids… Gramps said
I had it all so much harder than you
While you kids play with that X-Box we just had a…
ROCK! You are bugging mom for rides to Dairy Queen
When I was your age I’s walkin’
Uphill both ways back then
In the freezing cold

Oh and you think you’re deprived!
I think I was more deprived!
You kids are not that deprived!
Oh, no…

You kids are picky
Cause you won’t eat prunes
That I am feeding… to you
I still remember… what I ate, some bugs and some hay
Then for snacks… A snack…
Some kitty hair
No, I don’t tease
This I swear

I, I was deprived!
No shoes cause I was deprived
Fought rats cause I was deprived
Ate dirt cause I was deprived
Well…

Groan…
Blah, blah, blah, blah
Moan…

We had to run errands
Those chores and work
Clear the beehives from sheds
Oh, and I pulled out all the weeds
For no allowance!
It was done… just cause… IT HAD TO!!! NO DOLLARS!!!

I think I was deprived
Yeah, You kids don’t know deprived!
Fifteen, one room now that’s deprived!
But you… Don’t hear me whine!
No, no, no, no, no, no!!!!

Uh-uh!
Nope, Uh-uh!
Uh-uh!
Nope, Uh-uh!
Nope, No, Nine, Nix!
