Stepping outside to take my Huffy for a short ride
another summer day with perfect skies
counting up my South Side Video Chips cuz I'm
off to rent Rad for the fifth or the sixth time

Coming down the driveway, rolling up to West Bayard Street
I hear the sound of approaching beats
an Escort whips by, blaring CQ102
while every other car in town blasts WSFW

I cross the street and head straight down Swaby
keeping far away from the Franklin Hotel, baby
those guys are crazy, there's no telling what they'll do
that guy who looked like Manson built a boat up in his bedroom

I ride on just like I was Cru Jones
straight on backpedaling cuz now I'm in the zone
flipping back like I was on the Helltrack because

I feel like the good old days are coming back
mags and pegs all up in the bike rack
from the foot of the falls to the top of Killer Hill
fucking with the fake nun 'till we get our fill

I feel like the salad days are coming back
reversing the order of future, present and past

Hey man, let's catch a movie at the Strand
or hit the bandstand and change colors with Zartan
we'll take a look at comic books at Rook's
Wolverine 10 was the one that got me hooked.

Now I got my thumb on my forehead yelling "beefer"
and that's just as bad as my 1-2-3 jinx fever
Pump up my sneakers and then I head down to the Rec
win a game of tips or double bounce and win respect

and nothing compares 2 a Pudgies Party Pizza
Jump and Hot For Teacher, Wyatt, Gary and Lisa
hypercoloring t-shirts that we got from Auburn Mall
Garbage Pail Kids and M.U.S.C.L.E. men: collect them all!

Oh sweet nostalgia U just can't touch this
it's my childhood bliss, the moments that I miss
Lassoing memories like I had a proton pack

I feel like the good old days are coming back
mags and pegs all up in the bike rack
From the foot of the falls to the top of Killer Hill
Fucking with the fake nun until we get our fill

I feel like the salad days are coming back
reversing the order of future, present and past
