Songtexte 1983 - Lisa St. Lou

I was putting on my makeup, hairspray
Got my scrunchy on the right side
Giving that blue jean
Dairy Queen drive-thru vibe
A Shirley Temple on my Sweet 16, promise ring
From a boy by the name of Gene
Getting high on his Afro Sheen and in between
Pop went the cherry if ya know what I mean

And everybody went bang, bang
Boogie to the boogie
Buyin' liquor with a fake ID
And we were like, "Oh dang!"
Playin' air guitar, and runnin' with DMC
We were livin' it up
In 1983 (1983)

We met up in the parking lot
In the usual spot
Smokin' menthol cigarettes (Cools)
Playin' that CD on repeat in a little red Corvette
Cuttin' class on a sunny day
In the month of May
Shootin' duck on a coupla' skates (skate)
At the roller rink we were all in sync
Eatin' pizza off paper plates

And everybody went bang, bang
Boogie to the boogie
Buyin' liquor with a fake ID
And we were like, "Oh, oh dang!"
Playin' air guitar and runnin' with DMC
We were livin' it up
In 1983

Slushies and uh, a brain freeze
At the drive-in after dark
Gettin' our T.P. on in the neighbor's lawn
Smoke a nickel bag in the park (1983)

And everybody went bang, bang
Boogie to the boogie
Buyin' liquor with a fake ID
And we were like, "Oh, oh dang!"
Playin' air guitar, and runnin' with DMC
And everybody went
Bang, bang, boogie to the boogie
Buyin' liquor with a fake ID
And we were like, "Oh, oh dang!"
Playin' air guitar and runnin' with DMC

We were livin' it up, livin' it up
Oh, livin' it up, livin' it up
Livin' it up, livin' it up, oh, in 1983

And everybody went (bang), bang, bang
Boogie to the boogie
Buyin' liquor with a fake ID
And we were like, "Oh dang!"
Playin' air guitar, and runnin' with DMC
We were livin' it up
In 1983
