The 80s

I remember a time
when I was just a teen
The 80s had bigger hair
Than ever's been seen

The 80s had a language 
That was all it's own
Phrases I haven't used
Since I have been grown

Phrases like: "Omigod"
And "Gag, me with a spoon"
The valley girl said the word "like"
A million times before noon

There were so many groups
Back in High School
Gothic, nerds, and jocks
All of us trying to be cool.

Some of us were popular
Some of us were just wannabes
Some of us were invisible
Some were just oddities

We all were so different
Each In our own ways
High School was tough
But those really were the days

I kid you not
About the way things were
Over the years it has 
Become quite a blur.

As I look back on
My life as a teen
The 80s were the best years
That has ever been seen.
