JUVENILE DELINQUENTS

WHEN I WAS IN MY CATHOLIC GRADE SCHOOL, WE USED TO THINK THAT
WE WERE THE ULTIMATE IN "NAUGHTY" WHEN WE USED TO SING THIS
SONG BEHIND THE NUN'S BACKS. IT IS SUNG TO THE TUNE OF YANKEE
DOODLE DANDY.
WE ARE JUVENILE DELINQUENTS, WE ROAM THE STREETS TILL TWO A. M.
WE DRINK WITH THE SAILORS AND WE SMOKE WITH THE BUMS, WE WAIT
ON THE CORNER FOR PICKUPS TO COME. OH, WE ARE JUVENILE
DELINQUENTS, WE SLEEP IN BED BUT NOT ALONE... MOVE OVER BABY...
YOU'RE TAKING UP THE WHOLE DAMN BED AND THERE WAS GRANNY,
SWINGING ON THE OUTHOUSE DOOR... WITHOUT HER NIGHTY.. WAITING
FOR THE GARBAGE MEN, TO COME A RUNNING. OH WE ARE MAMA'S
JUVENILES. COME ON AND HUG ME. OH, WE ARE MAMA'S JUVENILES,
COME ON AND KISS ME. OH, WE ARE MAMA'S JUVENILES. DA DA DA.
