[Verse 1]
4:05 in my neighborhood
When shots go off, no one bothers
A pop and a reply, pop and no reply
Dinosaurs on the quilt I wore
[Chorus]
With a girl
Such a classic girl
Such a classic girl
[Verse 2]
Such a classic girl, gives her man great ideas
And hears you tell your friends, "Hey man, why don't you listen to my great idea!"
It's true, I am a villain when you fall ill
That's probably because men never can be
[Chorus]
Not like a girl
Such a classic girl
Such a classic girl, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Hey, guys!
[Verse 3]
They may say, "Those were the days"
But in a way, you know, for us these are the days
Yeah, for us these are the days, and you know
[Chorus]
You're my girl
Such a classic girl
Such a classic girl
You know, for us these are the days, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Hey, guys!
[Outro]
Oh! Oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Goodnight! Goodnight)
