Arcade Precinct
Thursday walking in the arcade precinct
Jackie was looking so bad
Couple of girls from the Catholic school
Turning their heads to look back (woo!)
They were all sixteen, fifteen, fourteen
Just getting away from their dads
Busy tea-leafing, grabbing things for free
Over by the magazine rack
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
That was that and this was then
And that's what girls are for
Hangin' round arcade precincts, foodhalls
Or even shopping malls
Well I know what you know
And you know a scarecrow
And they go where we go
And we could all go to a go-go
Let's go!
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
Well, I'm glad I met you at the precinct
We had some good times
Hangin' with the wild life
A-na na na na na, na na na na
But the ladies from the arcade
Are drinking cherry Kool-Aid
They're never gonna behave
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
I know what you know
And you know a scarecrow
And they go where we go
And we could all go to a go-go
I know what you know
And you know a scarecrow
And they go where we go
And we could all go
Jackie was looking so bad
Couple of girls from the Catholic school
Turning their heads to look back (woo!)
They were all sixteen, fifteen, fourteen
Just getting away from their dads
Busy tea-leafing, grabbing things for free
Over by the magazine rack
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
That was that and this was then
And that's what girls are for
Hangin' round arcade precincts, foodhalls
Or even shopping malls
Well I know what you know
And you know a scarecrow
And they go where we go
And we could all go to a go-go
Let's go!
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
Well, I'm glad I met you at the precinct
We had some good times
Hangin' with the wild life
A-na na na na na, na na na na
But the ladies from the arcade
Are drinking cherry Kool-Aid
They're never gonna behave
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
I know what you know
And you know a scarecrow
And they go where we go
And we could all go to a go-go
I know what you know
And you know a scarecrow
And they go where we go
And we could all go
