ADULT CULTURE

[Adam Klein and Michael Mullen]

performed by the Size Queens

Whatever happened to adult culture?
When we went out and saw “Oh, Calcutta!”
And Marlon Brando wrestled with butter

Whatever happened to adult culture?
When we could send the kids down to the den
To get fingered on the ping pong table

Whatever happened to adult culture?
We used to have martini parties with our friends
And there was no embarrassment at the end

Whatever happened to Jacqueline Susann?
You used to do so much with your hands
And the Love Machine ran

Whatever happened to getting together
Telling the kids to go wherever
And giving them a few pennies for the Seven Eleven?

Remember how we used the bean bag chair
While the children were sleeping upstairs
And I threw my head back without any care?

Whatever happened to Erica Jong?
I never had a fear of flying before
You used to have a cocktail in one hand
And in the other a bottle of seconal

Remember when we could banish the kids
To the pool, to the pool
And never worry if they went to school?

Whatever happened to adult culture?
When we saw “Hair” for the first time
I really let my hair down, baby
And we really got it right

Whatever happened to adult culture?
The kids grew up and they became like vultures
Tearing the meat right off our wild nights

Whatever happened to those summer pools
Where we could send the kids out without any rules?
Remember when we paneled the den
So the kids could go down and get fingered again

On the ping pong table?
Well we were once able
To take our minds off them
To take some time from those vultures
