Back in the day (x6)
See I remember growing up in Granny yards.
In the eighties playing Hop Scotch,
And running away from the neighbour’s dog.
Body pumpin’ with the buggalo break force,
Glow worms, garbage pail kids
Soda streams and braids with beads
Summer festival down in Kensal Green,
The days when were so care free.
(Bridge 1)
Starsky and hutch, the A team,
Barbie dolls, Torn jeans,
Tom and Jerry, Dynasty
BMX and Stevie
Wonder Woman, Mack magazine,
Michael Jackson and MTV
Charlie Brown and Snoopy
Those were the days.
Now I’m 15, drama queen,
Stole stages singing Bugsy
Everybody wanted designer stretch jeans,
Making sure you keep those classics clean,
Late for classes, teachers vexing on me,
Call the Headmaster, detention for me,
Fighting for school, or fighting the scene,
Can’t wait til I’m sweet 16.
(Bridge 2)
R.Kelly, Wallaby,
Choice Fm, Sky TV,
D’influence, Jodeci
The Gulf War, Versace,
One to one, touch magazine,
Jungle massive and B.I.G.
Kid ‘n’ Play, House Party
Those were the days.
When I reminisce,
About the time we’ve had,
Everything it always only seemed like only yesterday,
Don’t you think?
Funny how we all move on and change,
Sometimes we all need,
To remember the things that we did,
Cos live is forever always changing,
But the memories we had are so amazing.
(Bridge 3)
Ayia Napa, Dream Team
Twice as Nice, Fresh ‘n’ Funky
Blues ‘n’ Soul, Craig D,
Trevor Nelson, the Lick Party
D’Angelo, Commander B,
Wale Adeyemi, Man United, David B
These are the days.
