Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's unbelievable, this is as good as it gets
It's unbelievable, don't know what's gonna happen next
It's unbelievable, you haven't seen nothing yet
It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable
[Verse 1]
When I was a kid, I saved up all my dough so I could buy C-3PO
Put Mentos in my Diet Coke in the backseat of the bus
When I was a kid, I ate SpaghettiOs, played laser tag and G.I. Joe's
And if you vowed no girls allowed, then you could join the club
When I was a kid, I spend my Saturdays blowin' on Nintendo games
The newest thing was Lion King, and I could feel the love
[Chorus]
It's unbelievable, this is as good as it gets
It's unbelievable, don't know what's gonna happen next
It's unbelievable, you haven't seen nothing yet
It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable
[Verse 2]
When I was a kid, I dreamed of Power Wheels, stayed up late watchin' action films
And I won't lie, my friends and I were 2 Legit 2 Quit
When I was a kid, I lived for climbing trees, ate Dr. Pepper jelly beans
My favorite part of Jurassic Park was how real the raptors looked
When I was a kid, I still had VHS, watched Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff
Zack Morris on the first cellphone, it was off the hook
[Chorus]
It's unbelievable, this is as good as it gets
It's unbelievable, don't know what's gonna happen next
It's unbelievable, you haven't seen nothing yet
It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable
[Bridge]
Gak, pogs and Floam and Home Alone
Berenstain Bears and beanbag chairs
My L.A. Looks and Goosebumps books
Oh, Etch A Sketch, what happens next?
Grape Juicy Juice and Dr. Seuss
Piggyback rides and Slip 'N Slides
McDonald's fries, those were the best
What happens next?
[Chorus]
It's unbelievable, this is as good as it gets
It's unbelievable, don't know what's gonna happen next
It's unbelievable, you haven't seen nothing yet
It's unbelievable, those were the days, oh
[Chorus]
It's unbelievable, when I think back, I'm amazed
It's unbelievable 'cause, baby, those were the days
It's unbelievable, it ruled in so many ways
It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable
[Outro]
Oh, I'm so amazed
Those were the days
[Outro]
