[Verse 1]

Down at the corner by Converse Street

Beneath Raub’s van there is a side of meat

The junkie bleaches and his car’s a wreck

But Ted isn’t bothered, chilling on the deck


[Refrain]

He said “hey hey”

(Hey)

“Heya hey”

(Hyah)

“Heya hey”

(Hey!)


[Verse 2]

At the party everybody went 70’s

With platform shoes and leisure suits with sleeves

We wandered in

I can’t begin

To tell you what wеnt through our mental skin


[Chorus]

We said “hey hеy”

(Heyyyy)

“Heya hey”

(Heyyyy)

“Heya hey”

(Hyaaaa)

We used to laugh about our funny ways

(Oh woah)

And memories can make a mock of days

(Woah)

You call me over and I see your face

(Oh woah)

Your older now but you don’t look your age


[Verse 3]

We used to practice in the living room

When Joshua was living back in Spyder’s tomb

We played too loud

An angry crowd

When Fraggle and Dave came they made us proud


[Refrain]

They said “hey hey”

(Heyya)

“Heya hey”

(Hyaaa)

“Heya hey”

(Heyyy)


[Verse 4]

I remember when there were no floors

Ted built a bedroom, Spyder bought some doors

Well Raub was slow

Four years or so

Still sleeping in the office of that rodeo


[Chorus]

We said “hey hey”

(Heyaaa)

“Heya hey”

(Nahhh)

“Heya hey”

(Yeahhh)

We used to laugh about our funny ways

(Oh woah)

And memories can make a mock of days

(Woah)

You call me over and I see your face

(Oh woah)

Your older now but you don’t act your age
