Right Back
Lazy Days Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me right back
Take me right back
To the day we first met
When we first met baby

Take me right back
Take me right back
To the day we first met
When we first met baby

If I had the chance I would take it
Even if it was only a day trip
If I had the chance I would take it
Promise you that this time, I won`t waste it

Take me right back
Take me right back
To the day we first met
When we first met baby

Take me right back
Take me right back
To the day we first met
When we first met baby

If I can go back I will stay there
Looking into the stars, see a spaceship
If I can go back I will stay there
Holding you in my arms, that`s my one wish

If I had the chance I would take it
Even if it was only a day trip
If I had the chance I would take it
Promise you that this time, I won`t waste it

Take me right back
Take me right back
To the day we first met
When we first met baby

Take me right back
Take me right back
To the day we first met
When we first met baby

Take me right back
Take me right back




To the day we first met
When we first met baby

I was in the Air Force stationed in Charleston in ‘66 and a bunch of us were walking the “battery” and walked in this studio accidentally and Spanky (relatively unknown in ‘66)and Our Gang were rehearsing and singing and and we instantaneously loved the songs and actually they were singling “Lazy Day”!! It was fantastic!!! What a great day!!!

I was playing music videos for my Dad (drafted '66-'68) and he wanted to see what Spanky and Our Gang looked like. It was a treat seeing him go back to his younger days and I'm thankful to grow up listening to his fabulous 60's music.

A guilty pleasure. Spanky and her mates nailed it.
In the middle of the Early Rock Era, I had to live in denial that I loved this one.
The Cool Kids would have crucified me.
I've come out of hiding today to say this is just one of the great ones.

Patti S Wolf

Amen !🎉

Nick Campbell

Nothing guilty about it.

Kenneth Steffens
