Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa
         A
Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa

                      E
When you see a little baby
                             A
See it lying in it's momma's lap
     D                       E
It's just the beginning of a thing called 
               A
The generation gap

It's not the difference of age now
Everybody's talking 'bout
It's all those no no's that they call
The generation gap

While the grown ups go out now
They go to parties and get stoned
But that's something they don't talk about
In front of the children at home

But they ain't fooling anybody now
'Coz those kids are gonna find it out
Yeah it's just another reason for a thing
Called the generation gap

         D                                         G  D
Well the generation gap is a mighty mighty big hole
And you ain't gonna fill it up with all those 
                  E
Lies that's bein' told

Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa
You better shut your trap
If you expect to narrow
The generation gap

Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa
Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa

Preacher says drinking is a sin
That we'll have to pay for
But tell me, what's that liqour bottle
Doing on the dash of his car

And who's the man who calls Daddy
Every time that Momma's out
Well do you still wonder why we have
That generation gap?

The generation gap is a mighty mighty big hole
And you ain't gonna fill it up with all those
Lies that's bein' told

Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa
You better shut your trap
If you want to help to close 
That generation gap

The generation gap is a mighty mighty big hole
And you ain't gonna fill it up with all those
Lies that's bein' told

Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa
You better button your lip
Or else you're gonna lose yourself 
On your own generation trip

Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa
Wa-wa-wa-waa-waa

[Outro]
E  A  [repeat]
