Lyrics

When I was just a wee little lad, the best time of the year

Was those long, hot summer nights, there was magic in the air

There was more then magic, when we'd get to stay up late

If the mystery truck came driving through, like fish we'd take its bait

CHORUS
(We'd be) running after the fogger, running with such glee
Breathing down a sweet perfume, can you spell DDT?
Running after the fogger, running with such glee
How were we to know, it would change our puberty?


The eyes were kinda bleary, the stars not so bright

And lightnin' bugs seemed, to forget how to light

Was it playing hard and running fast that made our hearts beat faster?

We never woke to birds chirping, on the morning after

Repeat CHO


Now 30 years have gone on by, since I chased the skeeter truck

I suppose my bones are kinda brittle, but I'm not out of luck

Don't worry about that West Nile, cause even to this day

Mosquitoes that get near to me, just turn and fly away
