[Verse 1]
Mother and daughter fighting it out
Who's gonna stay home tonight
Who wears the make up, hangs on the phone
It always seems to end in a fight
It don't seem long since momma was a child bride

[Verse 2]
She got married in a hurry
Sixteen years old on the day
Ooh what a wedding, driving 'til dawn
With a rock n' roll band to play
She wore black when daddy gave the the bride away

[Chorus]
There's a generation rumble
A war between two worlds
Givin' momma lots of trouble
Baby's getting married when she's still her daddy's little girl

[Verse 3]
Now the years roll in and the family brings
Big changes onto the scene
Sweet sixteen's turned thirty four
But boy, she's still that same little queen
Life's full of trips and she's gonna follow every dream
[Chorus]
And it's a generation rumble
A war between two worlds
Givin' momma lots of trouble
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

[Verse 4]
Mother and daughter fighting it out
Who's gonna get their own way
Doctor says, "Take it easy now
Take two of these every day."
Doctor, doctor, you can throw your pills away

[Chorus]
It's just a generation rumble
A war between two worlds
Givin' momma lots of trouble
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

[Outro]
It's just a generation rumble
A war between two worlds
Givin' momma lots of trouble
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
