[edit]
I think of who's to blame,
And I bow my head in shame.
So, you've grown tired of your parents
Always hanging around.
Now, they spoil your children
And having grandparents is out.
Yes, and they raised you well,
But you wish to hell that they'd go away
So you wouldn't have to pay for their food.
Forget all the years when they paid for you.
Send your mother to Shady Acres.
Send your father to Shady Acres.
We'll take good care of them.
You won't be aware of them.
Send them to Shady Acres.
If one of them's dead don't worry your head,
'Cause we have a matchmaker.
They can sit down and kvetch on the rest home steps,
While watching, "Green Acres."
Yes, if you don't want to visit, well, there's no requisite.
We have foster sons and daughters,
To help all our borders to stop feeling blue.
Keep the checks coming and we won't bother you.
Send your mother to Shady Acres.
Send your father to Shady Acres.
We'll take good care of them.
You won't be aware of them.
Send them to Shady Acres.
Yes, our home is so peaceful they die while they're sleeping.
Yes, right in their beds.
Now, there's no need for worry we have our own mortuary

Yes we are good people. We care for the feeble.
We've devoted our lives to the husbands and wives
Who don't want their fathers around to be bothers.
So send them. We're respectable and tax deductible.
Send your mother to Shady Acres.
Send your father to Shady Acres.
We'll take good care of them.
Because we love them.
Send them to Shady Acres.
Fake ending.
Well, the Freudian doctors, they tell me,
"Have no fear it's not your fault
You're growing up bad,
Beause your parents did you wrong."
And I blame it on my parents,
On the teachers in the school.
Till I remember, once upon a time
They had parents too.
I think of who's to blame,
And I bow my head in shame.
