Treat the Youth Right Lyrics
Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing with dynamite
Oh
When you go and look for a job
There was someone giving you a fight
Like they want you to go and rob
And we know that that's alright
Oh yeah (Yeah)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing with dynamite
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
All the boys and girls of today
Are the men and women of tomorrow
Take heed to the words that I say
Or your days will be filled with sorrow
Oh yeah (Yeah)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing with dynamite
Treat the youth right, right, right, right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing with dynamite
Oh, yeah
What was hidden from the wise and prudent
Now revealed to the babes and sucklings
What was hidden from the high school students
Now revealed to the the kids and ducklings
Oh yeah (Yeah)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing with dynamite
Oh
Yeah, oh (Yeah, oh)
Yeah, oh (Yeah, oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Treat the youth right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing with dynamite
Treat the youth right, right, right, right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youth right
Or you'll be playing with dynamite
Oh
Yeah, oh (Yeah, oh)
Yeah, oh (Yeah, oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Whoa, whoa, oh (Whoa, whoa, oh)
Yeah, yeah, oh (Yeah, yeah, oh)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa (Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa)
Yeah, oh (Yeah, oh)
