Savin Hill my starting point, down the beach with a few beers

Moved on down to Motley school, down to St. Willies from there

Grades on to eight were nuts, hi-jinx, stunts and pranks pulled out

Danny, Joey, Robby, John, Saxon and Victoria

Savin Hill down by the beach

Do you remember the tennis courts?

Do you remember jumping that bridge?

The risks we took and our chances?
