[Verse 1]
Say "Hello" from your window
Say "Goodbye" from your car
Say "Goodnight" from your pillow
Say "So long" from the stars

[Refrain]
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh

[Verse 2]
Take a walk out of my life
Sing to me a lullaby
Cradle songs for a mid-life
Don't forget to pass me by

[Chorus]
As my imagination runs away
On this 8th Avenue serenade
Meet me at the Bathroom stall, meet me at the whispering wall
Before all the flames burn out

[Refrain]
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh

[Chorus]
As my imagination runs away
On this 8th Avenue serenade
Meet me at the Bathroom stall, meet me at the whispering wall
Before all the flames burn out

[Refrain]
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
