Lyrics
The ancient jukebox groans
and pulls a record from the stack
Stoned out days and purple haze
All come rushing back
Fritz is in the kitchen
barking up a storm
I just cane down off the hill
I needed to get warm
I needed to get warm
Endles ciggarettes
Tattered Leatherette
Wasted hours in the hole
How could I forget
Coffee and a hard roll
A quarter and some dimes
I could be in class right now
But I just aint got the time
I just aint got the time
Caught up in the Campus days
Jamming in the basement
with Willie and the boys
His mom screaming down the stairs
turn down all that noise
We didn't know it then
There was no refrain
Some things in life come only once
and not again
Oooh the Campus Days
Me and Suzie Creamcheese
kissing in the dark
Braces and embraces
Full of Wintergreen sparks
Camping out on 50ft
Exploding saur Kraut
We felt packed in like sardines
We all wanted to get out
Cruisin with Bwana Joe
Down at the Shaboo
Muddy Waters playing
and there's nothing better to do
Billy he got busted
behind the restaurant
Out smokin' with the boys
and he mouthed off to the cops
Back in the Campus Days
Now my kid tells me
I'm an ancient freak
I can't say that she ain't right
I'm still waiting for my peak
Ain't no tellin' when
There is no refrain
Some things in life come only once
and not again
Like the Campus Days
