Lyrics:

So you can't blame the youths
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths, not at all
You can't fool the youths
You teach the youths about Christopher Columbus
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about the pirate Hawkins
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about the pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man
So you can't blame the youths of today
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame these youths, not at all
You can't fool the youths
You teach the youths about Christopher Columbus
And you said he was a very great man (oh-oh-oh)
You teach the youths about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about the pirate Hawkins
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about the pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man
So, you can't blame the youths
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths
You can't fool the youths

Your teaching youth to learn in the school
Now they called jumbo a moon
Teaching youth to learn in the school
That dish ran away with spoon
So you can't blame the youths
You can't fool the youths
You can't blame the youths of today
You can't fool the youths
Said he was a very great man
Said he was a very great man (very great man)
You teach the youths about Christopher Columbus
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about the pirate Hawkins
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about the pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man
So you can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame these youth of today
You can't fool the youth

You teach the youths about Christopher Columbus
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youths about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man
So you just can't blame the youth, no
You just can't blame the youth
I stay believing in what we love
What we're living, what we're teaching
You can't blame the youth
Te-me-re-na
Te-me-re-na
