lyrics

Once, when I was a boy I wanted a brand new bike
And a Huffy Pro Thunder was the bike that I wanted
They had commercials where these kids were riding in lightning
With thunder rumbling all around, it was so exciting

I begged my mom for it, she said she would think about it
And maybe if I'd do my chores, I could save my allowance
I had those yellow mag wheels dancing around in my dreams
I knew if I got that bike, I'd be the fastest on my street

Go Huffy Pro Thunder Go!
Huffy Pro Thunder Go!
Huffy Pro Thunder Go!

It didn't take that long, because my mom was a sucker
When it came to me and my sister
If I knew how broke we were, I probably would have felt guilty
But I wanted that bike so bad, I'd find a way to get guilt buried

Go Huffy Pro Thunder Go!
Huffy Pro Thunder Go!
Huffy Pro Thunder Go!

These teenagers came riding by and said I had a cool bike
And if I'd come with them they knew a really rad place to ride
I'd never felt so grown-up and alive
'Til I got to the place where they beat me up and stole my bike

Go Huffy Pro Thunder Go!
Huffy Pro Thunder Go!
Huffy Pro Thunder Go!
