[Verse 1]
My Ababy used to dance underneath my archiC#mtecture
To the AHouses of the Holy, smokin' on them cigaC#mrettes
My Ababy used to dance underneath my archiC#mtecture
He was Dcool as heck, he was F#mcool as heck
[Pre-Chorus]
And Dwe were so obsessed with writing the next best AAmerican record
That Dwe gave all we had 'til the time we got to bed 'cause we Aknew we could
DWe were so obsessed with writing the next best AF#mmerican record
'Cause we were Bmjust that good, it was Gjust that good
[Chorus]
Whatever's Bmon toAnight, DI just wanna party with Gyou
Topanga's Bmhot toAnight, I'm Dtaking off my bathing Gsuit
You make me Bmfeel Alike there's Dsomething that I never Gknew I BmwanAted
[Verse 2]
My Ababy used to dance underneath my archiC#mtecture
He was 'A70s in spirit, '90s in his frame of C#mmind
My Ababy used to dance underneath my archiC#mtecture
We lost Dtrack of space, we lost F#mtrack of time
[Pre-Chorus]
And Dwe were so obsessed with writing the next best AAmerican record
That Dwe gave all we had 'til the time we got to bed 'cause we Aknew we could
DWe were so obsessed with writing the next best AF#mmerican record
'Cause we were Bmjust that good, it was Gjust that good
[Chorus]
Whatever's Bmon toAnight, DI just wanna party with Gyou
Topanga's Bmhot toAnight, I'm Dtaking off my bathing Gsuit
You make me Bmfeel Alike there's Dsomething that I never Gknew I BmwanAted
We play the DEagles down in MaliGbu and I Bmwant Ait
[Bridge]
It's Gyou, all the roads lead to Ayou
Everything I want and Gdo
All the things that I F#say
It's Gtrue, all the roads lead to Ayou
Like the 405 I drive thGrough
Every night and every F#day
I-I-GI see you for who you really F#are
Why the thousands of Ggirls love
The way Bill F#plays guitGar
[Chorus]
Whatever's Bmon toAnight, DI just wanna party with Gyou
Topanga's Bmhot toAnight, I'm Dtaking off my bathing Gsuit
