Let's celebrate, have a basement party
|
A barbeque how we used to do
|
On the avenue, have a family reunion
|
Man, how I miss those days
|
When the kids was kids, no knives on the street
|
When the ice cream man came around the way
|
Lord, Miss Patti, won't you help me sing
|
Lord knows how I miss those days
|
|
[Patti (Wyclef)]

Dressing up for church on Easter Sunday (how I miss those days)
|
Doing the electric slide at every party (how I miss those days)
|
Oh, if only you knew, what I've been through (you would celebrate)
|
You would celebrate (everybody just celebrate, how I miss those days)
|
Get up, you would celebrate (celebrate, everything's gonna be ok, how I miss those days)
