D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 Looking back on when I, was a little nappy headed boy.
D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 Then my only worry, was for Christmas; what would be my toy.
A#7C7Fm7G#m6 Even though we sometimes would not get a thing;
A#7C7Fm7A#7#5 We were happy with the joy the day would bring.
D#mG#7 Sneaking out the back door,
D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine.
D#mG#7 Greeted at the back door,
D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 With; "boy, I thought I told you not to go out-side?"
A#7C7Fm7G#m6 Tryin' your best to bring the water to you eyes.
A#7C7Fm7A#7#5 Thinkin' it might stop her, from whoopin' your be-hind.
D#mG#7D#mG#7 I wish those days, could, come back once more,
D#mG#7D#mG#7 Why did those days, e -ver have to go?
D#mG#7D#mG#7 I wish those days, could, come back once more,
D#mG#7D#mG#7 (D#m) Why did those days, e -ver have to go? 'Cos I love them so.
D#mG#7D#mG#7 Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do.
D#mG#7D#mG#7 Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do.
D#mG#7 Brother says he's tellin',
D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 'Bout you playing doctor with that girl.
D#mG#7 Just don't tell; I'll give you,
D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 Anything you want in this whole wide world.
A#7C7Fm7G#m6 Mama gives you money, for Sunday school,
A#7C7Fm7A#7#5 You trade yours for candy, after church is through.
D#mG#7 Smokin' ciga-rettes and,
D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 And writing something nasty on the wall, (you nasty boy!)
D#mG#7D#mG#7D#mG#7 Teacher sends you to the principals of-fice down the hall.
A#7C7Fm7G#m6 You grow up and learn that, kinda thing ain't right.
A#7C7Fm7A#7#5 But while you were doin' it; it sure felt outta sight.
