So they sucked the life out of you
So now, what the hell do you do?
(Hey!) So your train went off of its track
Back when Michael Jackson was black
What'cha gonna prove?
How you gonna prove it?
There's no need to waste your life
Shatter and abuse it
Babe, I'm talking about a time
When a dime bag was a dime
No need to dwell upon the here-and-now, babe
(Whee!) Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing Pattycake
And Baker's Man
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches
On our neighbor's lawn
So you called the chief of police
(This is the pig, this is the pig)
And told him what to do
Called the zoo, and the Justice of Peace
And told 'em what to do
Sold your house and home
Told your boss to screw it
Bought a time machine
Grabbed the wheel and flew it
Way, way back into a time
When a dime bag was a dime
No need to spend another moment here, baby
(Whee!) Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing Pattycake
And Baker's Man
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches
On our neighbor's lawn
Hello, operator? Please give me number nine
And if you disconnect me, I'll kick your fat-
Behind the refrigerator, there was a piece of glass
Miss Suzy sat upon it, and broke her little-
Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom, zipping up their-
Flies are in the city, and bee stings are our crutch
The boys and girls are necking, and asking you just-
What'cha gonna prove?
How you gonna prove it?
There's no need to waste your life
Shatter and abuse it
Babe, I'm talking about a time
When a dime bag was a dime
No need to dwell upon the here-and-now, babe
(Whee!) Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing Pattycake
And Baker's Man
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches
On our neighbor's lawn
(Hey!) Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing Pattycake
And Baker's Man
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches
On our neighbor's lawn
(Hey, yeah-hey!)
It's 1978, we're playing Pattycake
And Baker's Man
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches...
