Lyrics
We didn't know, we were doin' without
There wasn't any difference 'tween a trailer and a house
We'd sit in a cloud of secondhand smoke
All through The Price Is Right and Ryan's Hope
Then after lunch, that Magnavox screen
Would finally find its way over to channel 13
Was ABCs and 123s
We thought that love and money grew on trees
Mom and Dad were still together and they had been since forever
And the birds had never met the bees
When we all lived on Sesame Street
We didn't pay bills, we didn't drive cars
The only hill we were over was in the backyard
A swing and a stairs were our hardest fall
Skinned-up knees were the only need for alcohol
Time was just hands we couldn't read on a clock
And the world dropped off at the end of our block
It was ABCs and 123s
We thought that love and money grew on trees
Mom and Dad were still together and they had been since forever
And the birds had never met the bees
When we all lived on Sesame Street
Yeah, the Coke was always Shasta and the TV wasn't plasma
But it didn't really matter then
Before our jeans were all designer
Mama's best years weren't behind her
We were all a little kinder when
Was ABCs and 123s
We thought that love and money grew on trees
Mom and Dad were still together and they had been since forever
And the birds had never met the bees
When we all lived on Sesame Street
On Sesame Street
Sunny day
