I was a new kid, I wasn't in the cool bunch | I was a new kid, I wasn't in the cool bunch | ||
Rode the bus to school, and I had to eat the free lunch | Rode the bus to school, and I had to eat the free lunch | ||
There was the girls who said I was corroded | There was the girls who said I was corroded | ||
I didn't have the cooties but my ego just folded | I didn't have the cooties but my ego just folded | ||
Then one day I saw him, underneath the table | Then one day I saw him, underneath the table | ||
Little Larry | Little Larry Donner he was so unstable | ||
Don't let him fade away | Don't let him fade away | ||
He was my only friend | That kid from yesterday | ||
He was my only friend | |||
And I'll wait until the end | |||
I took another ride, I was much older | I took another ride, I was much older | ||
Sometimes I wear a jacket | Sometimes I wear a jacket 'cause the weather gets colder | ||
I became a daddy, Larry is a doctor | I became a daddy, Larry is a doctor | ||
I still | I still got the memory of sharing that locker | ||
After summer | |||
One year older | After summer and we went back to school | ||
One year older but still a bunch of fools | |||
All the kids are cooler, class is really hard | All the kids are cooler, class is really hard | ||
We deal like drugs and we shuffle like cards | We deal like drugs and we shuffle like cards | ||
Don't let him fade away | Don't let him fade away | ||
He was my only friend | That kid from yesterday | ||
He was my only friend | |||
And I'll wait until the end | |||
Those kids they love to hate | Those kids they love to hate | ||
