Song 7: "Take Me Back to the 80s"
Now you see me as a figure of fun
Working in the background fixing the school.
Back in the 80s yeah, I was the one
I was a legend, man I was so cool.
I strutted like a peacock
On the dancefloor and stage
I was a fashion icon, defining an age
I moved throughout society
With such style and flair
A party wasn't happening
If I wasn't there!
So take me back to the 80s
Take, take me back to the 80s
Life was so great in the 80s
Oh I belong in the 80s...yeah!
So can't you look past what I wear for my job
Try not to see me as an ageing buffoon.
The beat lives on within me, deep in my soul
I'm like a butterfly in it's coccoon.
I strutted like a peacock
On the dancefloor and stage
I was a fashion icon, defining an age
I moved throughout society
With such style and flair
A party wasn't happening
If I wasn't there!
So take me back to the 80s
Take, take me back to the 80s
Life was so great in the 80s
Oh I belong in the 80s...yeah!
So take me back to the 80s
Take, take me back to the 80s
Life was so great in the 80s
Oh I belong in the 80s...yeah!
