Young Beatniks, behave!
Get haircut, take bath, wash clothes,
And shave!

Young Beatniks, be warned!
Get job, get married, have kids
Conform!
And no more of your artsy-fartsy tricks!
Young Beatniks!

Young Beatniks, think straight!
Avoid parks after dark, read your Marx!
Don't demonstrate!

Young Beatniks, grow up!
Join army, drink Vodka, break glasses!
Don't throw up!

And no more of your artsy-fartsy tricks!
Young Beatniks!

Young Beatniks, have respect!
Be healthy, play Hockey, go to Canada
But don't defect!

Young Beatniks, be correct!
Be good boy, join Bolshoi, go to America
But don't defect

And no more of your artsy-fartsy tricks!
Young Beatniks!
