PG-43: Music
3. Nanny Nanny Boo Boo
(PG-43)
Oh, to be a child again. Those were the times when it was socially acceptable to tease a playmate when you "got one" on them. Remembering games like Riddle Me Re can evoke some fond memories as well. "But the characters of this song are obviously grown ups," you say. Yes, though still under age 43 and in need of parental guidance to understand why this song hits home.
LYRICS
You got lots of money - I'm just gettin' by
You got a big house on the hill - I got a double-wide
But nanny nanny boo boo - I got one on you
I got the one thing you don't have
And there's nothin' you can do
The girl you took for granted now wants nothing to do with you
Nanny nanny boo boo - I got Jenny Lou
I say riddle me riddle me ree - I'm seeing somebody you can't see
Nanny nanny boo boo - I got Jenny Lou
You got a shiny SUV - pulling a Mastercraft
I got a rusty pickup truck - needin' a new drive shaft
But nanny nanny boo boo - I got one on you
I got the one thing you don't have
And there's nothin' you can do
The girl you took for granted now wants nothing to do with you
Nanny nanny boo boo - I got Jenny Lou
I say riddle me riddle me ree - I'm seeing somebody you can't see
Nanny nanny boo boo - I got Jenny Lou
You kept her in the dark too long
It gave me a chance to shine
I don't need the things you got
I'd rather have what's mine
Nanny nanny boo boo - I got one on you
I got the one thing you don't have
And there's nothin' you can do
The girl you took for granted now wants nothing to do with you
Nanny nanny boo boo - I got Jenny Lou
I say riddle me riddle me ree - I'm seeing somebody you can't see
Nanny nanny boo boo - I got Jenny Lou
