I was born in 1973,
I don't know how I will ever thank them
My Mamma said when they delivered me,
that they were playing Boney M
Now when I'm out the people stand back and stare
At my latest disco dance
Are they looking at the size of my hair
Or at the flare in my pants
I was born to run wild and free
Why can't everyone dress like me
I'm a child of the seventies
I've got a gauge to tell how loud my threads are
I like them tight in the crutch
When I go driving in my big V8 car
I drive like Starsky and Hutch
and the radio plays the Bee Gees....
I was born to run wild and free
Why can't everyone dress like me
I'm a child of the seventies
My Dad likes rap and reggae thrash metal too
He says he's got to keep on moving
I wish I had a better role model dad
someone more like Captain Stubing
I was born to run wild and free
Why can't everyone dress like me
I'm a child of the seventies
