Lyrics

Rap:
So you think you're the cat's pajamas, and you always got something to say
Well there's folks just waitin' for you to say it
So they can tear down your neon juke-joint,
and wall-up your cozy little flat
So here's something you should think about,
if you got' tie-die T's,
And a VW van with peace stickers
You gotta stop and think - well...
Who's listening to you? Who's watching you?
Yeah...

So Don't Diss Daddy-o, wassup 23-skiddo
Don't Diss Daddy-o, we got the groove, hey - lets go
I'll be a monkey's uncle, my bad - she's not a "10" so
All my peeps are waitin' - lookin' so fly and raven
The Man don't like you hipsters, 'cuz you're all way too groovy
Use The Man's fallout-shelters, all you beatniks streaming movies
The Man don't want no aliens, just preppies in khaki pants
So use The Man's dumpsters, for peace-signs, goodwill, and a chance ...

Don't Diss Daddy-o, oh - no - no - no
He'll get you on the flip-side, or the back-side
Don't Diss Daddy-o, oh, he'll always know
He'll get your Game-Boy, your surfboard, or your Wi-Fi

Don't Diss Daddy-o, wassup 23-skiddo
Don't Diss Daddy-o, we got the groove, hey - lets go
I'll be a monkey's uncle, my bad - she's not a "10" so
All my peeps are waitin' - lookin' so fly and raven
The Man don't like you hipsters, 'cuz you're all way too groovy
Use The Man's fallout-shelters, all you beatniks streaming movies
The Man don't want no aliens, just preppies in khaki pants
So use The Man's dumpsters, for peace-signs, goodwill, and a chance ...

Don't Diss Daddy-o, oh - no - no - no
He'll get you on the flip-side, or the back-side
Don't Diss Daddy-o, oh, he'll always know
He'll get your Game-Boy, your surfboard, or your Wi-Fi

spoken:
And without that, you got no life, you got nothin'
Oh yeah, you're a hurtin' dude
