You Had Her Out Too Late
Young man, you took my daughter out on a date.
However, I told you don’t keep her out too late.
She didn’t come home until the early morning light.
That was crude of you and not a bit right.
You are the epitome of an uncouth fool.
My daughter was too tired to make it into school.
Bad news followed that was a lot more than enough:
You got a little fresh with her and a bit too rough.
Don’t you know this town enforces a curfew?
Staying out late was a very foolish thing to do.
Never ever let me see you back around here.
This place is off limits to you! Do I make myself clear?
