Smash Mouth

[Verse 1]
Walking on down to the seventh grade dance
And I don't know what we're going there for
No one's going to talk to us, we'll look real silly
Staring at the gymnasium floor

[Verse 2]
I'll wrestle the beat
With my two left feet
They'll laugh and they'll stare
At what my mom made me wear
Tomorrow I'll wake up
Crying and smiling

[Break]
It's just another day in the suburbs
Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine
Sometimes

[Verse 3]
Hitching a ride to the high school dance
And I don't know what we're going there for
The girls are so pretty in their shopping mall fashions
And we're so invisible to them

[Verse 4]
I feel like I'm in
Some John Hughes film
Like a dream we've all had
Where you can't run too fast
Tomorrow we'll wake up
Crying and smiling

[Verse 5]
Driving on up to the Hollywood party
I don’t know what I'm going there for
There's too many fools and too many rules
And dress codes, and I'm one too many people there

[Outro]
They'll shake and they'll grin
Sharing 8 by 10's
They'll point and they'll laugh
At my photograph
Tomorrow they'll wake up
Crying and smiling
