As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your grandpa's coming by tonight
Now, I don't want to hear it
We'll be having macaroni
You will be polite when he's here tonight
Don't talk about the internet
Your grandpa doesn't understand
Do you understand?
He doesn't understand
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, I'm your dad
What happened to my medicine?
The stuff I take to keep my hair
It's obvious you stole it, and you sold it on the street
'Cause you don't even care if I lose my hair
Okay, I found my medicine
I'm sorry that I yelled at you
But let this be a lesson if you ever steal my medicine
That's what I'll do
I'll yell at you
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, I'm your dad
As your father, I expressly forbid it, yeah
As your father, I expressly forbid it, woah
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, yeah, yeah, yeah
As your father, I expressly forbid it (yeah)
As your father, I expressly forbid it (yeah)
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, I'm your dad
The song "As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It" by Lemon Demon is a humorous take on the typical father-child relationship. The lyrics describe how the father wants his child to behave when the grandfather comes to visit, which includes turning off the techno music and leaving any electronic devices behind during dinner. The father then accuses the child of stealing his medicine, until he eventually finds it and forgives him.
The lyrics portray the father's authority over his child and show how he wants his child to respect their elders, even if they don't understand modern technology. The father's attempt to discipline his child is seen as a comical overreaction, as he becomes angry when he thinks his medicine has been stolen.
Overall, the song is a lighthearted take on the parent-child dynamic, showing how fathers often try to control their children's behavior and how children can test the limits of their authority.
