Back When I Was 4 |
Don’t you remember |
The fizz in a pepper |
Peanuts in a bottle |
At ten, two and four |
A fried bologna sandwich |
With mayo and tomato |
Sittin' round the table |
Do not happen much anymore |
We got too complicated |
It’s all way over-rated |
I like the old and out-dated |
Way of life |
Back when a ho was a ho |
Coke was a Coke |
And crack’s what you were doing |
When you were cracking jokes |
Back when a screw was a screw |
The wind was all that blew |
And when you said I am down with that |
Well it meant you had the flu |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
I love my records |
Black, shiny vinyl |
Clicks and pops |
And white noise |
Man they sounded fine |
I had my favorite stations |
The ones that played 'em all |
Country, soul and rock-n-roll |
What happened to those times |
I am reading Street Slang For Dummies |
'Cause they put pop in my country |
I want more for my money |
The way it was back then |
Back when a ho was a ho |
Coke was a Coke |
And crack’s what you were doing |
When you were cracking jokes |
Back when a screw was a screw |
The wind was all that blew |
And when you said I am down with that |
Well it meant you had the flu |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
Give me a flat top for strummin' |
I want the whole world to be hummin' |
Oh, just keep it comin' |
The way it was back then |
Back when a ho was a ho |
Coke was a Coke |
And crack’s what you were doing |
When you were cracking jokes |
Back when a screw was a screw |
The wind was all that blew |
And when you said I am down with that |
Well it meant you had the flu |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
I miss back when |
