Depends on who you ask
Could be of your personal interest
Occasionally worn like a mask
A variation of temperature
Not warm and not really cold
“But take a sweater just in case”
This you might be told
A sign of approval
On a job well done
A handshake with thanks
Future trust is won
The rumble of a ’32 Deuce Coupe
Thundering fire from chrome pipes
Chopped top and drag slicks
“Hey man, that ride is nice”
And the youth of today
Backwards ball caps and pants falling down
Big kids on small bikes
Riding all over town
Cars that go boom
Cars that go jump jump
Hear it coming a mile away
Feel the bass go thump thump
You can ask all your teachers
But they won’t tell you in school
It’s something you learn from your generation
The meaning of “cool”
