lyrics

Boomer, Jenna & Lennie
Words & Music © 2017 by Dave Caruso

When they hurried you home from Riverside, just a baby
And delivered you down at David Street, so safely
You didn't have a care / Blissfully unaware
They kissed your head / Then off to bed / They carried you upstairs

Boomer / Before ya know / You'll be ready to go
Boomer / The days will fly / Then it's time for goodbye
With your mother's admiration
And Daddy's dedication
Whatever you do / It's all up to you
To further your education

So you scribbled your name beside the "X" like they told ya
Felt as if you had the weight of the moon on your shoulder
Your mom & dad agreed / You couldn't help but succeed
Since you were small / Their love was all / You'd ever really need

Jenna / You got the lease / They gave you the keys
Jenna / And so, alone / You'll brave the unknown
With your mother's trepidation
And Daddy's desperation
Whatever you do / It's all up to you / To advance in your occupation

No pressure / Whatsoever / No botching
Everyone's watching you now

So you blew all your cash and wagered your per diem
Seems you'll never retire until you're in a mausoleum
A bill of goods was sold / Promises didn't unfold
Been up the hill / Around the mill / You did what you were told

Lennie / Forgive mistakes / Do whatever it takes
Lennie / The future's yours / If you can open the doors
You've got your Mother's imagination
And Daddy's determination
Whatever you do / It's all up to you / What we'll make of your generation
