But, Stephen Sondheim in "West Side Story" said it better:
Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke Ya gotta understand It's just our bringin' upke That gets us outta hand Our mothers all are junkies Our fathers all are drunks Golly Moses natcherly we're punks
Gee, Officer Krupke, we're very upset; We never had the love that every Child oughta get We ain't no delinquents We're misunderstood Deep down inside us there is good!
My Daddy beats my Mommy My Mommy clobbers me My Grandpa is a Commie My Grandma pushes tea My sister wears a mustache My brother wears a dress Goodness Gracious, that's why I'm a mess!
Officer Krupke, he shouldn't be here This boy don't need a couch, he needs A useful career Society's played him a terrible trick And sociologically he's sick!
