[Verse 1]
Hey, turn your techno music down
Your grandpa's coming by tonight
No, I don't want to hear it, we'll be having macaroni
You will be polite when he's here tonight
Don't talk about the internet
Your grandpa doesn't understand
You will not bring your Game Boy or whatever to the table
Do you understand? (He doesn't understand)
He doesn't understand

[Chorus]
As your father I expressly forbid it
As your father I expressly forbid it
As your father I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, I'm your dad

[Verse 2]
What happened to my medicine?
The stuff I take to keep my hair
It's obvious you stole it and you sold it on the street
'Cause you don't even care if I lose my hair
Okay, I found my medicine
I'm sorry that I yelled at you
But let this be a lesson, if you ever steal my medicine
That's what I'll do, I'll yell at you
