When it's summer and you can't escape the heat
And the fire hydrant is our one relief
That's how we while away our days
We'd while away our days on my street

And the call it out, gotta get back home to eat
Gotta make it quick, 'cause I got friends to meet
That's how we'd while away our days
Yeah, we'd while away our days on my street

And we all came runnin'
Yeah, we all came runnin' down
Yeah, we all
Yeah, we all were young and free
While we'd while away our days on my street
Yeah, we'd while away our days on my street

Got the boom box blastin' out a hip-hop beat
Her name is Betty, and she's a young girl, Meryl Streep
It was just like yesterday when she took my breath away
I think about how easy it all seemed to be

Complicated was a part of our belief
While we'd while away our days
Yeah, we'd while away our days on my street

And we all came runnin'
Yeah, we all came runnin' down
Yeah, we all
Yeah, we all were young and free
While we'd while away our days on my street
Yeah, we'd while away our days on my street

I don't think it ever rained
Didn't know how much my life would change
Now is all we cared about
Yeah, we were young and free
While we'd while away our days on my street

And we all came runnin'
Yeah, we all came runnin' down
Yeah, we all
Yeah, we all were young and free
While we'd while away our days

And we all came runnin'
Yeah, we all came runnin' down
Yeah, we all
Yeah, we all were young and free
While we'd while away our days on my street
Where we'd while away our days on my street
