Lyrics to Childhood Memories
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
When I was a kid, we had conker fights,
Played out all day till on came the street lights.
Rolled marbles, played Jacks and hop-scotch too,
Skipped rope, Knock Down Ginger — always so much to do!
Saturday morning pictures in the cinema was such a treat,
Whilst mum shopped for dinner, two veg and some meat.
(Hook)
Life was simple, carefree, and bright,
Playtime till the street lights lit the night.
No screens, no stress, just endless play,
Childhood memories, forever they’ll stay.
(Verse 2)
A ten pee mixed bag of sweets, all half a penny,
It seemed to last forever, you’d get so many!
Flying saucers, fruit salads, black jacks, and white mice,
Gobstoppers, pink shrimp, and milk bottles were nice.
Crates of full-fat milk at school every day,
A third pint bottle, then out to play.
(Hook)
Life was simple, carefree, and bright,
Playtime till the street lights lit the night.
No screens, no stress, just endless play,
Childhood memories, forever they’ll stay.
(Bridge)
No Google Maps, no social feeds,
Just bikes and skates fulfilling our needs.
No mobile phones, just face-to-face,
Running wild in a simpler place.
(Hook)
Life was simple, carefree, and bright,
Playtime till the street lights lit the night.
No screens, no stress, just endless play,
Childhood memories, forever they’ll stay.
(Outro)
I look back with fondness, I know I was blessed,
We had more freedom, less pressure, less stress.
Let kids be kids, let them run wild and play,
So they too can remember those carefree days.
