Mrs. McKenzie - Janis Ian

She taught them all about sex

And other little girls

Encouraging them to go out among friends

And spread the word

And going from one little game to another

She’d be more of a friend than a mother

Kept them in her freedom

Oh, look at her

Lady Mckenzie, she’s in a frenzy

For her children to leave

So she can be free

What a drag it must be

Feeling wanted

She said «If you’ve got a problem

I’m not here to help you

You’ve got your hang-ups, it’s none of my fault

Pull yourself through

Ah, you say that you need me, I’m only your mother

I only work here, please don’t bother me

Teach yourself to be free»

Oh, look at her

Lady Mckenzie, she’s in a frenzy

For her children to leave

So she can be free

What a drag it must be

Feeling wanted

I tried to help her, to tell her

They wouldn’t be what she’d like them to

You can’t fix your mind if it’s wrapped in the twine

Of the psycho blues

She just said «Get out, 'cause mother’s always right

In a logical world, age means might

If you’re raped, chalk it up to experience»

Oh, take a good look at her

Lady Mckenzie, she’s in a frenzy

For her children to leave

So she can be free

What a drag it must be

Feeling wanted
