Back in the day when things were cool
All we needed was bop ba ba ba ba ba du -
Oh bop ba ba ba ba ba du - well well well
Soul flower take me flying with you - hey
Just gimmie' that bop ba ba ba ba ba du - hey
Oh bop ba ba ba ba ba du - well well well
Back in the day when things were cool
We used to meet up with these dudes
Then we rolled on the Vogues and trues
Then we would ride around the park
'till its after dark
bump in the trunk with the windows
rolled up - PUFF! --- well well well
Soul flower take me flying with you - hey
Just gimmie that bo ba ba ba ba ba do
Oh - bo ba ba ba ba ba do - well
We were laughing7jammin and sing'n and
talk'n
And bump it the trunk with the windows
Tolled up - PUFF! ... well, well well
Then we would ride around the
Park 'till its after dark
When we got home hope the dog don't bark
Bark - PUFF!... well well well
