Let's talk about those Glory Days
Of Hi Tops, Jams, Atari Games
Mohawks, Mullets, Rooster Bangs
When Olivia was physical
Madonna was material
It's all a part of who I am
Pac-Man, Wham, and big hair bands
Fluorescent shirts and black Ray Bans
Flash, Break, Dirty Dancing
A little bit of Stone Romancing

Why don't we all go Back To The Future of our past?

When ET had not phoned home yet
And an actor was the president
When Karate Kid had learned to kick
Those are times I really miss
I'm a child of the 80s
A child of the 80s

From Benatar to Mike Reno
From Mesh Hair Tyes to bright Flojos
From Rubik's Cube to the Cosby Show
Bandanas, Men At Work, Bananarama, Polo Shirts

I want my MTV the way it used to be

When ET had not phoned home yet
And an actor was the president
When Karate Kid had learned to kick
Those are times I really miss
I'm a child of the 80s
A child of the 80s

Reality killed the video star
Delorian is my favorite car
Did we ever know who shot JR?
Before they told us "You've Got Mail"
Or tried to say that Bill inhaled
We all chilled with our rat tails

When ET had not phoned home yet
And an actor was the president
When Karate Kid had learned to kick
Those are times I really miss

When Ninja Turtles hit the screen
And we all lived in Stone Washed Jeans
When VCRs were all we had
And Valley Girls were really rad
I'm a child of the 80s
A child of the 80s
