[Verse 1]
Looking back on when I…
…Was a little nappy headed boy,
Then my only worry …was, for Christmas,
What would be my toy,
Even though we, sometimes, would not get a thing,
We were happy with the …joy the day would bring!
[Verse 2]
Sneaking out the back door,
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine, Hoo -oo!
Greeted at the back door,
With, “Boy,’thought I told you not to go out – side!”
Trying your best to bring the water to your eyes,
Thinking it might stop her from whooping your be – hind!
I wish those days …could …come back once more,
Why did those days …ev – ver have to go?
I wish those days …could …come back once more,
Why did those days …ev – ver have to go?
‘Cause I love them so!
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo! Doo- doo -doo, doo, doo -doo-doo!
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo! Doo- doo -doo, doo, doo -doo-doo!
[Verse 3]
Brother says he’s telling…
…'Bout you playing’ doctor with that girl, huh!
Just don’t tell and I’ll give you…
…Anything you want in this whole wide world,
Mama gives you money …for Sunday school,
You trade yours for candy …after church is through!
[Verse 4]
Smoking cigarettes, and…
…Writing something nasty on the wall,
(You nasty boy!) Teacher sends you to the…
…Principal’s of – fice …down the hall,
You grow up and learn that …kinda thing ain’t right,
But, while you were doin’ it, it sure felt outta sight!
I wish those days …could …come back once more,
Why did those days …ev – ver have to go?
I wish those days …could …come back once more,
Why did those days …ev – ver have to go?
Yeah -eh -eh, eh! Ee—!
