John Entwistle - Who In The Hell? lyrics

My mother used to treat me like a fool

Made sure I did my homework and I wasn't late for school

Told me exactly what to wear and how and when to cut my hair

But a boy can only stand so much then he has to make a move.

My dad didn't have too much to say

He had to agree with ma

It made his life much easier

But it didn't get me too far

He'd sit there in his armchair with his paper in his hand

And tell me not to answer back when I tried to make him understand.

So I said

Who in the hell do you think you are?

Telling me what to do

Who in the hell do you think you are?

I'm old enough to take care of myself

And I'm big enough to take care of you.

I'm gonna go to school if and when I please

I'm gonna grow my hair down to my knees

No more uniforms and suits, go put on my jeans

You're just my mum and dad

You ain't the king and queen.

My teachers never liked me, said I had a nasty mind

Always gave me extra work and made me stay behind

They picked the hardest questions for me the hardest they could find

So once day when I was old enough

I stood up and said I resign.

Don't wanna know about geography

I'd rather have pornography

Keep your history and geology

Gonna teach myself biology, the easy way.

(Fiddle Solo)

Who in the hell do you think you are?

Telling me what to do

Who in the hell do you think you are?

I'm old enough to take care of myself

And I'm big enough to take care of you.

So I got myself an office job sweeping up all day

Licking stamps and making tea which I took round on a tray

I went into the boss and asked him for a raise in pay

He said ask me in seven more years young man

I'm busy go away.

So I said

Who in the hell do you think you are?

Telling me what to do

Who in the hell do you think you are?

I'm old enough to take care of myself

And I'm big enough to take care of you.

I'm gonna sleep in every morning

Get up when I stop yawning

Pick up my unemployment pay

Lay back and watch TV all day.
