[Verse 1]
Another summer wasted in the Battlefords
On a banana seat bike, with a hockey card in the spokes
A friend of ours, who's dad stopped his car by
To say that he better get home
He said, "You're gonna get a beating
You're gonna get the beating of your life"
[Verse 2]
Oh, Nutrasweet, and Fresca, and Popshoppe
And all the best of what a babysitter could afford
With enough negotiation, and a freckled smile
[Verse 3]
Another summer wasted here in the Battlefords
Our dust-coated, freezy-stained lips, and lawn darts in the yard
And the richest guy in town drives his new Lincoln
Drunk on the old dusty streets
Balancing a snifter of gin on the edge of his knee
[Verse 4]
Rocky road, tiger tail, and bubble gum
And all the rest of them that a babysitter could afford
With the right negotiation, and a freckled smile
[Verse 5]
They say that wealth is revealed in the teeth
That's we're all wearing braces
And dirty fingernails, ah
That a good akela wouldn't approve of
[Verse 6]
Not another broken arm in this heat
He fell bringing pop and chips home one handed
We weren't invincible, ah
And the sensei said, "He'll sit out the tournament"
[Verse 7]
Another summer wasted here in the Battlefords
Dad shakes his head at the car that's been sitting on blocks for years
And the weird kid who smoked two cigarettes playing bingo
Then his mom came to his rescue
She stood up and chided everyone with her finger outstretched
Saying, "You're not the boss of him"
[Verse 8]
Oh, and Ring Pops, banana Runts, Popeye cigarettes
And everything that's best, that a baby sitter could afford
With the right negotiation, and a freckled smile
[Verse 9]
They say that wealth is revealed in the teeth
That's we're all wearing braces
And dirty fingernails, ah
That a good akela wouldn't approve of
[Verse 10]
Not another broken arm in this heat
He fell bringing pop and chips home one handed
We weren't invincible, no
And the sensei said, "He'll sit out the tournament"
[Verse 11]
Nobody really asked for this, nobody really asked for this, no
Nobody asked for this, no, nobody really asked for this, no
Nobody asked for this, no, nobody really asked for this, no
The sensei said, "He'll sit out the tournament"
Nobody really asked for this, nobody really asked for this, no
Nobody asked for this, no, nobody really asked for this, no
Nobody asked for this, no, nobody really asked for this, no
The sensei said, "He'll sit out the tournament"
[Verse 12]
Another summer wasted here in the Battlefords
Mom says to go get outside, and don't come back till it's dark
[Verse 13]
They say that wealth is revealed in the teeth
That's we're all wearing braces
And dirty fingernails, ah
That a good akela wouldn't approve of
[Verse 14]
Not another broken arm in this heat
He fell bringing pop and chips home one handed
We weren't invincible, no
And the sensei said, "He'll sit out the tournament"
