Don't send your daughter to the debutante ball
If you do she will only embarrass you in front of all
Your friends from the audubon crowd
She's got a problem with drinking and thinking out loud
So don't send you daughter to the debutante ball
Don't waste your money on that taffeta gown
And paying a photographer to follow her around
Sure she's pretty and i'm sure your proud
But her problem is drinking and thinking out loud
So don't waste your money on that taffeta gown
Don't you pretend that it's for her own good
So she'll meet nice kids from nice neighborhoods
Those kids got more money than good sense should allow
And her problem is thinking out loud
So don't send your daughter to the debutante ball
