Lyrics

Our last day of summer, 1979
Gotta live it up one time before it's over
We will make history tonight

Out at the drive-in
All of our closest friends, they will be sneaking in
You'll be spending the whole night
Trying eveything you can to get that girl to notice you

"We are the champions" playing out on the radio station
Everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation
Cruisin' down pacific coast highway
Put the top down, crawl into the back seat
Let's create anthems of our own tonight

Down at the roller rink
All the cool kids crowded around the air hockey table
"Hey, my best friend likes you,"
I hear you shout at me as you go skating by

"We are the champions" playing out on the radio station
Everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation
Cruisin' down pacific coast highway
Put the top down, crawl into the back seat
Let's create anthems of our own tonight

Sneak out of your window, darlin'
Let's live like outlaws, honey
We'll never look back

Climb out on this rooftop
And stare at the city lights below us
This world belongs to us tonight
The kids will keep ragin' on-
And they ain't never gonna stop

"We are the champions" playing out on the radio station
Everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation
Cruisin' down pacific coast highway
Put the top down, crawl into the back seat
Let's create anthems of our own tonight
