So it was Jeremy
in 1983
in his Ocean Pacific tee
who got a bloody knee,
on his skateboard
in the half pipe
in the back yard that Tuesday night

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and I've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears
and I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom

Cuttin' class through the first floor window he's,
driving fast cause he never did a thing slow
and I look up to my big,
bro cause in the eighties all the ladies grabbed
his hand and couldn't let go

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and I've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears
and I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
a pink tux to the prom, a pink tux to the prom
a pink tux to the prom

I am gonna wear, a pink tux to the prom
live without a care, what could possibly go wrong
When you're the president of the breakfast club
and you're not hesitant to fall in love,
to fall in love to find a way
to fall in love with the eighties

I am gonna wear, a pink tux to the prom
live without a care, what could possibly go wrong
I am gonna wear, a pink tux to the prom
live without a care, cause you threw it away,
to fall in love with the eighties
