Sun coming up from across the bay.
Short walk home.
I feel okay.
Don’t have to go to work till Monday.
Ken up to his knees in the water.
Even the cops were laughing.
“Come on boys, on your way.
Tomorrow’s another day.
What’s that you say?”
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Paddy had a greeting for everyone
“Right ya geek ye”.
Sheamy had a laugh like a loon
Howling at the moon.
Outside Chics, there was Marty
Pleading diplomatic immunity:
“You can’t arrest me under the stars and stripes.
I know my rights. I know my rights”.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Smiley, Heaven and me
Drank some mushroom tea.
Headed up to the woods
To watch the Autumn leaves.
Ended up in the Hollywood Bowl.
Jimmy said he wanted to shoot the dog.
Laughed so hard,
Don’t think I’ve laughed that hard,
That hard ever since.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Back to 1981. Back to 1981.
Back to 1981. Back to 1981.
