I was born in 1973
I don't know how I'll ever thank them
My Mumma said when they delivered me
That they were playing Boney M

Now when I'm out the people stand back and stareAt my latest disco dance
Are they looking at my at the size of my hair
Or at the flares in my pants

I was born to run wild and free
Why can't everyone dress like me?
I'm a child of the 70's

I've got a gauge to tell how long my threads are
I like them tight in the crutch
When I go driving in my big V8 car
I drive like Starsky & 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 70's

My dad likes rap and reggae, flash-metal too
He says he's got to keep on moving
I wish I had have been a role-model dad
Someone like Captain Stubbing

I was born to run wild and free
Why can't everyone dress like me?
I'm a child of the 70's
