I was born in 1973, I don't know how I will ever thank them My Mamma said when they delivered me, that they were playing Boney M Now when I'm out the people stand back and stare At my latest disco dance Are they looking at the size of my hair Or at the flare in my pants I was born to run wild and free Why can't everyone dress like me I'm a child of the seventies I've got a gauge to tell how loud my threads are I like them tight in the crutch When I go driving in my big V8 car I drive like Starsky and Hutch and the radio plays the Bee Gees.... I was born to run wild and free Why can't everyone dress like me I'm a child of the seventies My Dad likes rap and reggae thrash metal too He says he's got to keep on moving I wish I had a better role model dad someone more like Captain Stubing I was born to run wild and free Why can't everyone dress like me I'm a child of the seventies
