about

Always a crowd pleaser, and live staple, this synth laden party track recaps the decade that brought you MTV and PacMan

lyrics

If I had a time machine just like Marty McFly,
I’d pick you up next weekend and I’d take you for a ride,
Put my foot upon the gas and flip that shit in drive,
And just like Huey Lewis girl we’d both go back in time,
I’d take you to the 60s and buy you a flower dress,
Smoke some 60s reefer as we sat at some protest,
I’d take you to the 90s Lolapalooza in the rain,
We’d chill out watchin Seinfeld as we master our domain,
We’ll visit every decade all you do is pull the lever,
Stop in 1950 and say hi to Beaver Cleaver,
Take you to the 70s, we’ll both get Disco Fever,
Are you a fan of Ricca yet? I’ll make you a believer,
When I see you smiling, and I know it’s goin great,
I’ll save one special decade for the ending of our date,
I’ll take you to the place that I know will drive you crazy,
It really all boils down girlfriend, you know I wanna do you in the 80s

The 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s
In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s,
I’ll be your sexy lady In the 80s, the 80s

In the 1980s I’m gone be the friggin man,
I’ll walk around in Jordache and I’ll sing Duran Duran,
And once you get a load of me you’ll never be the same,
You’ll want me even more than Kirk Cameron or Cory Haim,
Like the Beastie Boys, I’ll be rhyming and stealing,
I look at you, you look at me, you know we got the feeling,
You got that 80s look, and I find you so appealing,
The way you’ve got your bangs all teased up to touch the ceiling,
Buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke one in the store,
Go to the hotel, and then go up to Penthouse floor,
You get a bit more comfortable, you’d go and lock the door,
Then just like Wayne Gretzky, it’s time for me to score,
Put on Kool and the Gang and we’ll have a Celebration,
I’ll take a couple Polaroids of our 80s vacation,
I’d snap one as we gave the 80s proper consummation,
Wrap it in an envelope, send it to Ronald Reagan

In the 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s,
I’ll be your sexy lady In the 80s, the 80s,
Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
Wanna go and drive you crazy, the 80s, the 80s,
You go and drive me crazy, the 80s, the 80s

In the 80s, gonna make you frisky,
In my acid wash, how can you resist me,
Wanna kiss me, we can do our thing y’all,
I can be your personal Molly Ringwald,
In the 80s, gonna make you love me,
While we’re there, you’ll be steady thinking of me,
I’ll drive you crazy like Patrick Swayze, baby, you’re gon be so glad you date me,
Hazy shade of winter, not complicated, baby you can do me in the 80s,

The 80s, the 80s,
Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s,
I’ll make you call me baby In the 80s, the 80s,
Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s,
In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s,
You go and drive me crazy, the 80s, the 80s
