[Verse 1] Waking up early to watch cartoons With my favorites Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes I was making mix tapes on a Saturday Waiting for a song on the radio to play Living in the 80s it was so much fun and so care free How I miss those days of long ago [Chorus] Flippin’ through the records of my parent’s collection Looking for something to play Dropping down the needle, cranking up the volume Then dancing the day away Turning on the TV, the one-and-only TV Looking for a favorite show The Dukes of Hazard is coming on tonight with Daisy, Luke and Bo Just 3 channels if you hold the antenna Turn it just a little left Little House on the Prairie at 8 o’clock Then a TV movie comes up next Living in the 80s, only in the 80s To some it might sound cheesy But living in the 80s, only in the 80s Was oh so much more easy [Verse 2] Someone is calling, gotta run downstairs To the only phone to see who’s there It’s my friend down the street and he wants to bike So I tell my mom and we ride ’til night Summer in the 80s, it was simple and true Using imagination to make everyday new I still remember like it was yesterday [Chorus] Flippin’ through the records of my parent’s collection Looking for something to play Dropping down the needle, cranking up the volume Then dancing the day away Turning on the TV, the one-and-only TV Looking for a favorite show The Dukes of Hazard is coming on tonight with Daisy, Luke and Bo Just 3 channels if you hold the antenna Turn it just a little left Little House on the Prairie at 8 o’clock Then a TV movie comes up next Living in the 80s, only in the 80s To some it might sound cheesy But living in the 80s, only in the 80s Was oh so much more easy [Bridge] Summer in the 80s, it was simple and true Using imagination to make everyday new I still remember like it was yesterday [Chorus] Flippin’ through the records of my parent’s collection Looking for something to play Dropping down the needle, cranking up the volume Then dancing the day away Turning on the TV, the one-and-only TV Looking for a favorite show The Dukes of Hazard is coming on tonight with Daisy, Luke and Bo Just 3 channels if you hold the antenna Turn it just a little left Little House on the Prairie at 8 o’clock Then a TV movie comes up next Living in the 80s, only in the 80s To some it might sound cheesy But living in the 80s, only in the 80s Was oh so much more easy
