Me and Betty Shelly were at Cinnamon Park
Waiting for the battle of the bands
Betty's older brother had a bad reputation 
And a waterbed in his van
He said hey Jilly Sue I've got something for you
Something that will blow your mind
We hopped into his van 
And he opened his hand 
And said its only mother nature

*CHORUS*
Cinnamon park in a cinnamon daze
We were so freaked out 
But in a really good way
In a really good way 
Yeah those were the days
I wish I could go back again

Billy had a talk box and a Peavey bass
Started feeling funny when they hit the stage
Betty was getting so shitfaced
And I could not stop laughing

As I spun all around and I laid on the ground
I was amazed at how the clouds just kept moving
And they played the same song 
And they played the chords wrong
But I never heard it better

*CHORUS*

Betty's now in counseling 
And she's using again
Her brother's unemployed but with a brand new van
Billy came in second in the battle of the bands
Wish we could go back again 

*CHORUS X2*
