[MRS. LIVINGSTON]
There is one thing to which we must come to terms
There are some things out there just as deadly as germs
Like girls with short skirts and piercings and perms
They scare mommy
They frighten mommy
But there's something you can do to calm me
[JIMMY, spoken]
What? What do I need to do, Mom?
[MRS. LIVINGSTON]
Stay clean

For if sin is a fire, then that girl's kerosene
Stay clean, stay clean
[MRS. LIVINGSTON & JIMMY]
