Later re-recorded for Robbie's "Green Tea and Blueberry Pie" album

lyrics

Bookmark girl takes a taste; she sticks her tongue into the paste.
Pissing in the yellow bus will ruin it for all of us.
Trademark apple, pocket comb; notebook stickers, going home.
Bobby’s brilliant, Susie’s cool- see them kissing after school!

“Come and feel my Corduroy”, he says to her.
The shadow boy is watching you.
Come and run on the field at three
I’ll chase you down if you want me to catch you…
and I’ll catch you if I can.

Crispy chicken afternoons, the special smell of diesel fumes
vinyl seats in cars of brown will slowly wash the sunshine down.
Meetcha at the pizza shop for sugarshakes and sodapop;
the waitress looks like Marilyn Monroe,
and she says they all think so.

“Come and feel my Corduroy”, he says to her.
The shadow boy is watching you.
Come and run on the field at three
I’ll chase you down if you want me to catch you…
and I’ll catch you if I can.

On the playground, slides and swings are hip,
and so’s that metal rocketship we play on.
At recess on the monkeybars, pretending we are movie stars,
we push & fall into the dirt ‘cause no one can get really hurt!

Bookmark girl, she takes a taste; she sticks her tongue into the paste.
Pissing in the yellow bus will ruin it for all of us.
Meetcha at the record shop for some groovyacidboogiepop;
the waitress looks like Marilyn Monroe
and she says they all think so.

“Come and feel my Corduroy”, he says to her.
The shadow boy is watching you.
Come and run on the field at three
I’ll chase you down if you want me to catch you…
and I’ll catch you if I can.
