Looking back on when I was a little nappyheaded boy

 then my only worry was for Christmas what would be my toy.
 Even though we sometimes would not get a thing

 we were happy with the joy the day would bring.
 Sneakin' out the back door to hangout
 with those hoodlum friends of mine.

 Ooh
 greeted at the back door with

 Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside.
 Tryin' the best to bring the water to your eyes

 thinkin' it might stop her from whoopin' your behind.

 I wish these days [bad word] back once more.
 Why did those days ever have to go?
 I wish those days [bad word] back once more.
 Why did those days ever have to go

 'cause I loved them so.
 Do do do do do do do do do do do do

 do do do do do do do do do do do do.

 Brother says he's tellin'
 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
 Just don't tell
 I'll give you
 Anything you want in this whole wide world.
 mama gives you money for Sunday school
 You trade yours for candy after church is through.

 Smokin' cigarettes and writing something
 nasty on the wall (you nasty boy).
 Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall.
 You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
 But while you were doin't it - it sure felt outta sight.

 I wish those days [bad word] back once more.
 Why did those days ever have to go?
 I wish those days [bad word] back once more.
 Why did those days ever have to go?
 'Cause I loved them so.
