Skulls, Snakes and Skyrockets

Frights, lighted-up sights, and crawly creatures

We lived life like it was a movie triple feature

Skulls, snakes and skyrockets

All a part of our childhood docket

Skyrockets we launched from soda pop bottles

On the Fourth of July it was fun full throttle

Snakes crossed the lawn going to the forest

Skulls made of paper mache were the goriest

Blue jeans worn with the cuffs rolled up

Ice cream in a store-bought Dixie cup

Comic books for a dime adventures galore

Movies you paid a quarter and nothing more

Skyrockets we launched from soda pop bottles

On the Fourth of July it was fun full throttle

Snakes crossed the lawn going to the forest

Skulls made of paper mache were the goriest

A bag of marbles kept in a pocket

A bicycle at the ready for to hop on it

All day fun from morning to dawn

Except for Saturday mowing the lawn

Skyrockets we launched from soda pop bottles

On the Fourth of July it was fun full throttle

Snakes crossed the lawn going to the forest

Skulls made of paper mache were the goriest
