Verse 1:
Long hair, guitar, gonna be a big star
Thanks to all these tunes I play
I've got the licks that impress the chicks
Who scream for me night and day, yay, yay, yay
All I've gotta do is add some words
But something's changed along the way
Now if I want my music to sell
I've gotta have a story to tell
Or emotions gushing like an artesian well

Chorus:
Gimme back those days of yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, na, baby, goodbye
I'm sick of writing songs that gotta make sense
And put a tear in somebody's eye
All I want to do is have some fun
Scream my brains out 'til I'm comfortably numb
Gimme back those days of yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, na, baby, goodbye

Verse 2:
Oh, lyrics are just words you throw in the verse
To give the singer something to sing
Otherwise he'd look pretty stupid on stage
Not doing a friggin' thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can't tell me these songs made any sense
Like a cake left out in the rain
Or “Mony, Mony,” “American Pie”
Jimi trying to kiss the sky
A stairway that some lady wants to buy

Repeat chorus

Bridge :
It's the melody and beat that move my happy feet
So why strain my brain for just the right words
That make these songs complete
Everybody sing!

Repeat chorus twice

Tag:
Gimme back those days of yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, na, baby, goodbye
Gimme back those days of yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, na, baby, goodbye
