[Intro] (instrumentation) Heyo-o-o-o-o! Whoop! Whoop! (instrumentation) [Verse: strong reggae vibes] Get lost kid, this is the rhythm of my youth It’s a rising tide, long in the tooth Hey! Speak no lies and I’ll tell ya the truth The rising story and glory of my youth! [Chorus] Woo! Woo! Woo, woo, woo! (instrumentation) [Verse 2] Lil’ nipper beach-bummin’ hummin’ and a strummin’ Lookin’ at the sun and the fun - in Washington Scraped knee (scars), Roadside (cars), lil’ candy (bars) Speed bump, trailers, and… Convenience store rock stars (instrumentation) [Prechorus] Rain puddle stompin’ banana slug hoppin’ Nothin’ never stoppin’ Wah ooooooh Rain puddle stompin’ banana slug hoppin’ Nothin’ never stoppin’ (The rhythm of my youth) (instrumentation) [Chorus] Woo! Woo! We were loud, we were bulletproof Woo! Woo! Dozens of cousins — familial proof In so many ways, I’m still that kid Still on fire but a little uncouth— Screamin’ out loud For the rhythm of my youth! (Instrumentation / drop, possibly bring in piano) Break it down… (Drum buildup) [Chorus] Woo! Woo! Woo, woo, woo! [Verse 3] Flash forward… Teen slammin’ and a jammin’ along Much has passed but the melody still holds strong Finds a tribe — starts makin’ songs Found a new place where he belongs Tune (guitars) Drivin' (cars) Time is (ours) Grunge filled speakers, and… Slammin’ out to new rock stars [Chorus] Woo! Woo! We were loud, we were bulletproof Woo! Woo! Dialin’ in our sound, turnin’ up our proof The music lives on just like that kid Still on fire but a little uncouth!!!— The rhythm… of our youth! The rhythm of our youth! The rhythm of our youth!
