What went down from his fooling around Gave hope and a brand new day. Imagine all the girls Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the boys Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the strings Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums Oh! Nothing was the same again All about where and when Blowing our minds in our life unkind Gotta love the BPM. When the smoke was all baton Remembering how this begun. We wore his love like a hand in a glove Where the future plays it all night long. and nothin' but the girls Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the boys Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the strings Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee And "the drums" [x19] Imagine all the girls Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the boys Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the strings Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee And the drums Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, oh All the girls Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the boys Ah, ah, ahh, ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah And the strings Ee, ee, eee, eee, ee, ee, ee, ee And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.
