You Can't Go Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

There′s a roller coaster at the county fair
And a Ferris wheel high up in the air
We're gonna grip the Gripper and zip the Zipper
The neon lights will glow
All our friends are gonna be there, but you can′t go
You didn't do your homework. You didn't feed the dog
You didn′t take the garbage out and now that′s your job
Your daddy tried to warn you and your mamma told you so
But you didn't listen to what they said so now you can′t go
It's a pizza party birthday, Kevin′s turning ten
We're gonna have some fun and do it all again
Plates of ice cream and chocolate cake, filled to overflow
And all our friends are gonna be there, but you can′t go
You didn't do your homework and you didn't feed the dog
You didn′t take the garbage out and now that′s your job Your daddy tried to warn you and your mamma told you so
But you didn't listen to what they said so now you can′t go
You were busy watching television, busy doing nothing
And now there's finally something good to do
But you′ll still be doing nothing
while all your friends are having fun
And I know I should stay home with you so you're not the only one
But you didn′t do your homework and you didn't feed the dog
You didn't take the garbage out. It′s not my job
Your daddy tried to warn you and your mamma told you so
Well, I did everything that I had to do, so I′m gonna go
No, you didn't do what you had to do so you can′t go
If you can't do the time, buddy, don′t do the crime
You can't go. I′m gone
