Got my first real six-string, got it really cheap from Woot

With a strap and a digital tuner
To stay digitally in tune

Me and some guys from school
Are gonna start a band sometime
With Jimmy’s keyboard and Jody’s set of bongos
Gonna rock the summer of Zero-Nine

Oh, when I look ahead
All I see is superstardom
They make fun of us now
But someday we’ll really show ‘em
Those’ll be the best days of my life

Ain’t no use in even tryin’
To get a gig at the grown-up clubs
But there’s a talent show comin’
They gotta let us play ‘cause we signed up

Standin’ on our school stage
Rockin’ my Peavey Rockmaster
Hey, Jimmy, don’t play so fast
Hey, Jody, play a little faster
Those’ll be the best days of my life

Here comes the summer of Zero-Nine, oh yeah

Man we’re just killing time
We’re young and tuneless
We need more practice time
We’ll get good if it takes forever, forever, yeah

And even when we’re huge rock stars
We won’t trash hotels or take drugs
And we’ll still have time for
All the girls who were mean to us

We’ll be magnanimous
Everybody at our school will say
“They’re still so down-to-Earth”
We won’t get stuck up, no way
Those’ll be the best days of my life

Can’t wait for the summer of Zero-Nine, oh yeah
