Tell ’Em Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the kids, all the kids these days
All the kids, all the kids these days
Do you really wanna be that way?
Do you really wanna be that way?

Let me say, let me say, let me say
Let me say, let me say, let me say
Doesn't really have to be that way
Doesn't really have to be that way

And you know, and you know what's good
And you know, and you know what's good
Like the kids in the neighborhood
Like the kids in the neighborhood

Tell me what to say, tell me what to say
Tell me what to say, tell me what to say
Did you do your best today?
Did you do your best today?

[Verse 2]
All the girls, all the girls these days
All the girls, all the girls these days
Did you do your best today?
Did you do your best today?
All the boys, all the boys these days
All the boys, all the boys these days
Look away, look away, look away
Look away, look away, look away

Keep thinking cocaine champagne
Cocaine champagne cocaine champagne
I’m thinking just manage your heat
You better just manage your heat

Let me say, let me say, let me say
Let me say, let me say, let me say
You can do your best today
You can do your best today

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
