Let me tell you somethin bout bein a kid
don't go to the disco to dance, I go there to skid
on my knees, and yo I rock the bluest jeans
bluer than my teacher's; on field trips, I've seen 'em
takin coach trips to rome for the coliseum
stressin over conkers that I really should have beaten
got in trouble at school cos I got caught cheating
I fell over at lunch time and my knees bleeding
I've got a Lion O thundercats action figure and I've got the Ecto-1
dreamt I had optimus prime, woke up, he was gone
but i put him top of my christmas list
with an asterix, and got my wish
my eyes satisfied when I spotted a girl
worth all the superhero comics in the world
her kisses tingle my lips like bubblegum bursts
but I haven't had that many cos we're holding hands first
I tried to build a tree house last spring but it didn't last
it fell down, so i dug a den under a hedge
but I knocked the fence down
that's why I'm not allowed out of the house except to go school now

if you like to play, yo i've got a swing set
I've been promised a slide, haven't got it yet
I wore out my beastie boys tape cassette
playin it on a fisher price tape deck
I've been catchin bees in jars with reflexes like mr miagi
cos on saturday I go and learn karate
running with my jeans hanging down around my knees
but remember, it's just because my mum hasn't seen me
dad let me taste a pint of beer, I didn't like it
granpa puts wet fingers in my ears, I don't like it
wear a false moustache that I got inside a spy kit
if i'm gonna go and see my friends I'll probably bike it
having a bit of trouble paying attention in lessons
cos none of my teachers can answer my questions
so I brought this matter to my teacher's attention
and, well that's how I got stuck in detention... again
