My friend Joey and me were hanging out in his yard Had nothing to do though we were thinking real hard Nearing end of August we were sweating from the heat Joey gives out a shout, I got an idea that's really neat We could go to the corner ice cream and candy store Got no money to spend, we'll get thrown out the door We can go swimming at the junior high's indoor pool A locked gate, no lifeguard on duty, no way to be cool Our last plan brought us to our towns roadside stream A No Trespassing sign nailed to a tree can be easily seen When Joie and I are striped down to are swimming trunks Up pulls officer Kelly's cruiser, oh brother we are sunk Driving me home I thought my dad was quite upset I did something for a long time he might not forget But he smiled at me and said we're on the same page I got caught swimming there too when I was your age.
