Oh Anny - I can't follow that
You're really very good
And I've a house of teenagers
So not quite in the mood.

The music's loud - a racket
I've threatened a small hammer
It seemed to work -just for a while
Then back came this strange grammar.!

Hurtling down the stairs it came
The noise drowned out the sound
Of silence I was so enjoying
(not much chance when theyre around)

I'd said if they were coming round
They'd got to work for me
(One lad is homeless -the other?
Well at college he should be)

The homeless lad -he got stuck in
Painting my wall like crazy
Our lad tidied his bedroom
College boy? He's just lazy!

So he's gone home -the paints run out
Our lad's sorting his folder
For another college interview
Says he should -cos now he's older.

He's sixteen and should now grow up
He said -but I'm not sure
So we'll see ...........trouble is with him
We've heard it all before.

The homeless boy -he did so well
So he's stopping for tea
If I pay him he'll just waste it
So I said he can have tea.

He said 'Oh thankyou very much'
I said 'Oh no.....thank you
For painting out that bedroom
It was too much for me to do'


So these kids - well they're not bad
In fact they can be fun
But College Boy who's just bone idle
Well he's gone to plague his Mum !
