Don't you remember the fizz in a Pepper?

Peanuts in a bottle, at ten, two and four

A fried bologna sandwich with mayo and tomato

Sittin' 'round the table don't happen much anymore

We've gotten too complicated

It's all way overrated

I like the old and outdated way of life

Back when a ho was a hoe, coke was a Coke

And crack's what you were doing when you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw, the wind was all that blew

And when you said, "I'm down with that," well, it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

I love my records, black, shiny vinyl

Clicks and pops and white noise, man, they sounded fine

I had my favorite stations, the ones that played 'em all

Country, soul and rock 'n' roll, what happened to those times?

I'm reading Street Slang For Dummies

'Cause they put pop in my country

I want more for my money

The way it was back then

Back when a ho was a hoe, coke was a Coke

And crack's what you were doing when you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw, the wind was all that blew

And when you said, "I'm down with that," well, it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

Give me a flat-top for strummin'

I want a ol' Wurly hummin'

Oh, just keep it comin'

The way it was back then

Back when a ho was a hoe, coke was a Coke

And crack's what you were doing when you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw, the wind was all that blew

And when you said, "I'm down with that," well, it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when
