Lyrics
I don't mind
Other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine
I know them all pretty well
But I know somtimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind
with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Somtimes
I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime
I know I gotta get away
Cause I Know if I don't
I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind
with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go
things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned
But her folks wouldn't let her
Somtimes
I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime
I know I gotta get away
Cause I Know if I don't
I'll go out of my fuckin' mind
Better leave her behind
with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
PETE:
He used to drink
Expensive red wine
Sometimes he used to pay $2.500 a bottle
Time
Most of it was mud
You'd pour a glass and it looked like a bullock's blood
$20 dollars will buy you a bottle of great wine from California
He used to say
Don't say I didn't warn him
Just got to push it aside
Drink it some other time
On the other side
That old red wine
Some other time we'll drink
that old red wine
You know, that kid, that kid was alright
He was alright
Still a kid
Alright
That kid was alright
ROGER:
I can remember when I was 16
A sight for sore eyes I must have been
Used to hang with a pretty wild bunch
All the problems we solved with a slap or a punch
Then came the crunch
I hit twenty-one
A new capter begun
I ain't gone away
Yet
My body's been broken
My eye can't see
My ears can't hear anymore
But I'm still me
And, I too, am one
And just one of you
We were all in The Who
And that'll do for me
Now I am free
And I will survive
And I keep hanging on to the kid that's inside
Cause he's alright
He's OK
He's alright
Yes, he's OK
You know someting?
I've been lucky, oh so lucky
All my kids they're lucky
Stay lucky, lucky
Make sure they stay that way
Cause they're kids
The kids, they're alright
The kids, the kids they're OK now
The kids, the kids they're alright
The kids, the kids they're OK now
PETE:
What can ever be wrong with kids
What can ever be wrong with kids
Nothing wrong with my kids
Nothing wrong with your kids
THE WHO:
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright

Pete told the crowd: "(The song) changed a bit as we dragged it along throught the tour. This song, which is called "TKAA", become a kind of story about where we came from and where we grew up."
