Dennis [Bob the Tomato]
I wish we could go back, back, back, back, back
Maybe we could go back, back, back, back, back
[Together]
'Cause I've been thinking
'Bout all of the good times jammin' in the park
Best friends, I'm missin' how it used to be (how it)
Dennis [Bob the Tomato]
We were the best band, we rocked the big crowds
We made them clap hands and sing out loud
Lanny [Larry the Cucumber]
If we got the band together, it'd be such a thrill
We could make the magic happen
Imagine how good it'd feel to be back in the groove
Show off our coolest moves, that's why
[Together]
I wish we could go back, back, back, back, back
Maybe we could go back, back, back, back, back
'Cause I've been thinking
'Bout all of the good times, jammin' in the park
Best friends, I'm missin' how it used to be
Dennis [Bob the tomato]
Wait a minute, I remember, Lanny, what you did
It's your fault, you walked out, I'll never forget
You went solo, that was so low
I thought we were friends, I thought we were friends
We had the perfect thing, I thought it'd be forever
You turned your back, and now you want us back together
But I'm not ever goin' back, It'll never be the same
No way, no way, no way!
Lanny [Larry the Cucumber]
We could go back, back, back, back, back
Dennis [Bob the tomato]
We can never go back, back, back, back, back
You can just forget about the good times, jammin' in the park
We're not friends, listen we're not what we used to be (what we used to be, what we)
