"In the Street" by Big Star
Hangin' out
Down the street
The same old thing
We did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you
Steal the car
And Bring it down
Pick me up
We'll drive around
Wish we had
A joint so bad
Cross the street light
Out past midnight
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Hangin out
Down the street
The same old thing
We did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you
Season 1
Hangin' out
Down the street
The same old thing
We did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you
Not a thing to do
Out in the street
Oh yeah!
Mom and Dad
Live upstairs
The musics loud
So we don't care
Wish we had
A number so bad
Oh yeah
On the street lights
Out past midnight
We're all alright!
We're all alright!
Yeah!
Oh!
I'll steal a car
And drive on down
Pick you up
And we'll drive around
Not a thing to do
But talk to you
Not a thing to do
Oh yeah
On the street lights
Out past midnight
We're all alright!
We're all alright!
Yeah!
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Woo-o-o-o!
