Who In The Hell? Lyrics - John Entwistle

My mother used to treat me like a fool 

Made sure I did my homework and I wasn't late for school 

Told me exactly what to wear and how and when to cut my hair 

But a boy can only stand so much then he has to make a move. 

My dad didn't have too much to say 

He had to agree with ma 

It made his life much easier 

But it didn't get me too far 

He'd sit there in his armchair with his paper in his hand 

And tell me not to answer back when I tried to make him understand. 

So I said 

Who in the hell do you think you are? 

Telling me what to do 

Who in the hell do you think you are? 

I'm old enough to take care of myself 

And I'm big enough to take care of you. 

I'm gonna go to school if and when I please 

I'm gonna grow my hair down to my knees 

No more uniforms and suits, go put on my jeans 

You're just my mum and dad 

You ain't the king and queen. 

My teachers never liked me, said I had a nasty mind 

Always gave me extra work and made me stay behind 

They picked the hardest questions for me the hardest they could find 

So once day when I was old enough 

I stood up and said I resign. 

Don't wanna know about geography 

I'd rather have pornography 

Keep your history and geology 

Gonna teach myself biology, the easy way. 

(Fiddle Solo) 

Who in the hell do you think you are? 

Telling me what to do 

Who in the hell do you think you are? 

I'm old enough to take care of myself 

And I'm big enough to take care of you. 

So I got myself an office job sweeping up all day 

Licking stamps and making tea which I took round on a tray 

I went into the boss and asked him for a raise in pay 

He said ask me in seven more years young man 

I'm busy go away. 

So I said 

Who in the hell do you think you are? 

Telling me what to do 

Who in the hell do you think you are? 

I'm old enough to take care of myself 

And I'm big enough to take care of you. 

I'm gonna sleep in every morning 

Get up when I stop yawning 

Pick up my unemployment pay 

Lay back and watch TV all day.
