[ Featuring the G ]
Remember when we played those Bowie songs at school assembly
You know we felt like we were ten feet tall
Walking down the stairs and trembling
When we were kings
Remember when we practiced in the basement long
It was hot as an oven
Then we'd open the window to get some air
The cops always come running
When we were kings when we were kings
But those days should seem so far away from me now
Instead those days are getting closer somehow
Remember when we played that 4-H fair everybody was tripping
Remember when I gave my jean jacket to you my heart was ripping
Remember that time when we all dropped out of school then asked to play there
We almost didn't get to play that gig that night almost that is
But those days should seem so far away from me now
Instead those days are getting closer somehow
Monmouth County at the Battle of the Band
With our sixty-inch dynamo we took a stand
Eyeliner cloudy it was clouding up my eyes
We gave them a blitz set and took them by surprise
They delivered a breathless set of keyboard dominated blitz rock
Koch came on like Wonder Woman with Secrets and other uptempo delights
Keep an eye out for this Teaneck-based band
The Meek were chilling at McSorely's waiting for our slotted time
At CBGB's Sunday showcase night
Don't remember what really went down in that holy dive
The alehouse got the best of our wonton side
I'll be your Jimmy Page you be my Robert Plant
Ain't no one gonna tell us that we can't
When we were kings when we were kings
I'll be your Jimmy Page you be my Robert Plant
Ain't no one gonna tell us that we can't
When we were kings when we were kings
I'll be your Jimmy Page you be my Robert Plant
Ain't no one gonna tell us that we can't
When we were kings
That we can't
That we can't
When we were kings
