"Eighties" lyrics
Early in the morning and I'm off to school
Got my Transformers lunchbox and my kangaroo shoes
Back to wagon wheeling, add up something to trade
Got my K-Way jacket if it starts to rain
Couldn't wait for recess so we could play ball hockey
And we'd always get in trouble 'cause we couldn't stop talking
The bus ride home, it always lasted too long
Never wanted to be left for G.I. Joe and Voltron
Astro Boy and Ulysses, Stan Lee was a dick
Then George of the Jungle and my man Tom Slick
Tom and Jerry legendary, Fraggle Rock, Scooby-Doo
Where did you go? You were one of my favorites
He-Man, He-Man, He-Man, Skeletor, Pink Panther, Gargamel, Smurfitt
Just how it was, Astro Boy, Star, He-Man, Care Bear
By the power of Grayskull, thanks for always being there
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Cabbage Patch Kids, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, take me back
Evan from the block always a track, a racer track
I never had fun without a friend that did
Moving on we got Atari Model 2600
And I was not doing homework, just playing Berserk
Pole Position, Space Invaders, Q*bert
Love to play Asteroids and Missile Command
Track & Field always used to break a joystick handle
Just a girl or boy we used to pity the fool
Goonies, Gremlins, Dr. Jones, E.T. and Teen Wolf
Incredible Hulk, Zorro, War in the Skies
Airwolf and Knight Rider used to form the bad guys
Good guys ready to die, Rocky had a lot of pride
Mr. T was the best, I couldn't believe RoboCop survived
Made the switch from Big Wheel to BMX bike
Used to ride my bike all night
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Two blocks away from me I got my Pepsi for free
Hi-tops and Shell Toes, Power Wheels, waiting on the girls
Big Ben and Eagle don't cross the street
Laser disc, View-Master, Doodle Bear machine
Cabbage Patch, Daisy Dukes, and I'm doing the moonwalk
Spandex, headbands, we used to party and drop
The dollar bill allowance, Jerry bar was my hero
And Fast forward, I always loved the 80s symbol
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
(Really, really wasn't that bad, no, no...)
Got my Transformers lunchbox and my kangaroo shoes
Back to wagon wheeling, add up something to trade
Got my K-Way jacket if it starts to rain
Couldn't wait for recess so we could play ball hockey
And we'd always get in trouble 'cause we couldn't stop talking
The bus ride home, it always lasted too long
Never wanted to be left for G.I. Joe and Voltron
Astro Boy and Ulysses, Stan Lee was a dick
Then George of the Jungle and my man Tom Slick
Tom and Jerry legendary, Fraggle Rock, Scooby-Doo
Where did you go? You were one of my favorites
He-Man, He-Man, He-Man, Skeletor, Pink Panther, Gargamel, Smurfitt

Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
Really wasn't that bad
Growing up in the eighties
