Mama's in the kitchen with onions
|
Daddy's in the back with ol' Hank
|
Thinking 'bout the lasers and bunions
|
Talking disability ranks
|
|
No, we didn't have too much money
|
Just enough to make the dead ends meet
|
|
Me, I'm on the back of my hobby horse
|
Far away in some desert town
|
Miles from a civilization
|
Miles from a fortified town
|
|
Down in that basement it's sunny
|
We cannot stay down there for too long
|
|
Back then, it all seemed so funny
|
Toys were toys and boys were boys
|
The simple nights and easy joys, all right
|
Come out for another day
|
|
Upstairs mama's making some crepes, yeah
|
From a fancy recipe book
|
To me they just look like tortillas
|
Boy, that mama can cook
|
|
Soon, she will be calling for grub, yeah
|
I can't wait for such a sight this long
|
|
Back then, it all seemed so funny
|
Toys were toys and boys were boys
|
The easy nights and simple joys, all right
|
Come out for another day
|
