Lyrics
When I was just a wee little lad, the best time of the year
Was those long, hot summer nights, there was magic in the air
There was more then magic, when we'd get to stay up late
If the mystery truck came driving through, like fish we'd take its bait
CHORUS
(We'd be) running after the fogger, running with such glee
Breathing down a sweet perfume, can you spell DDT?
Running after the fogger, running with such glee
How were we to know, it would change our puberty?
The eyes were kinda bleary, the stars not so bright
And lightnin' bugs seemed, to forget how to light
Was it playing hard and running fast that made our hearts beat faster?
We never woke to birds chirping, on the morning after
Repeat CHO
Now 30 years have gone on by, since I chased the skeeter truck
I suppose my bones are kinda brittle, but I'm not out of luck
Don't worry about that West Nile, cause even to this day
Mosquitoes that get near to me, just turn and fly away
