"Show Me" lyrics

"Show Me"

Show me them now, those wild little boys
The ones that spelled trouble and stole all the toys
Young boys with contempt, dreams and schemes in their eyes
Strong, rich in spirit, milk stains on their ties
A little while later, the first ones to smoke (Show me them)
I stood there in awe, laughing loud at their jokes (Show me them)
Tinny transistors, Hong Kong made this week's parade (Show me them)
If they'd accept me, I'd give anything

Show me them now, let me look and see how they've grown up now
Show me them now, let me look and see how they've grown up now (Show me now, show me now)

Stolen wristwatches and big studded rings
Tall tales of girls and all that kind of thing
They just had something, you know what I mean (Show me them)
Wisdom and style like I'd never seen (Show me them)
Helped me get older, pulled me through each bad phase (Show me them)
Show me them now, those boys from those days

Show me them now, let me look and see how they've grown up now
Show me them now, let me look and see how they've grown up now
Show me them now, let me look and see how they've grown up now (Show me them now)

Show me now, show me now, show me now, show me, show me now, show me
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
Brrt-t-t-t
Show me now
Now, now, now, now, now, now
This is part one, part two soon
Show me, show me them now
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
Sh-sh-sh
Brrt
