I know, I know, I said that I would quit
All right, I promise, no more after this
You don't know how I've tried
To forget what it was like

I remember now
I remember now
Why they called it Thunderbird
Why they called it Thunderbird

Man, oh man, my throat is dry
Man, are you thinking what I
Am? Well what about it then?

Before you fall, you have to learn to crawl
You can't see heaven when you're standing tall
To get the whole sky
On the ground you have to lie

I remember now
I remember now
Why they called it Thunderbird
Why they called it Thunderbird

We like fun, me and my girl
We'll have fun fun fun until
T-bird takes her dad away

I know, I know, I said that I'd desist
All right, I promise, no more after this
Not to be what I was like
Not to soar across the sky
Spread my thunder wings and fly
Spread my thunder wings and fly

I remember now
I remember now
Why they called it Thunderbird
Why they called it Thunderbird

    adding to what Sir Larrikin said...

    both "Fun Fun Fun" and "T-Bird takes her dad away" are references to the Beach Boys song Fun Fun Fun(like sir larrikin said!)

    Get it? instead of "until her daddy takes the T-Bird away" its the other way around! haaha! I dunno why, though.

    I think the title of the song (and therefor, the whole song) has something to do with Fun Fun Fun, but I dont know what.
