lyrics

I popped three balloons to win a coke mirror
Thought it was cool because of Bob Seger
I recollect spinning too long on the swinger
And the sweet, dirty smell of his dad's cigar
Threw up as soon as I got outta the car

We had to file our teeth sharp
To ward off the child taker

I can still see that boy folded in half
Fell from the monkey bars, of course we laughed
We could bust open the box to steal Cinemax
A quarterstick in the mailbox, who needs a bat
Diving in the Monte Carlo as we heard the blast

We taught our wolves to bark
To warn us of the child taker
