Looking back on when I
Was was a little nappy headed nappyheaded boy
Then

Was forChristmas what would be my toy toy.
Even though we sometimes
Would would not get a thing
We

Joy joy the day would bring bring.

Sneaking Sneakin' out the back door to hangout
To hang outwith those hoodlum friends of mine mine.
Greeted
Ooh
greeted at the back door with
With "boy

Tryin' your the best to bring the
Water water to your eyes
Thinkin'

From woopin' from whoopin' your behind behind.

Why did those days ever have to go?
