Michael J. Fox was a household name

In 1985

And what about young Mallory

And all of the Family Ties?

I hear they all robbed liquor stores

And are in jail now for life

Kirk Cameron had Growing Pains

Sex symbol of the year

Problem solved so squeaky clean

In half an hour clear

I hear he's been washing dishes

For the last couple of years

Laughter tracks and '80s stars

Predictable jokes

I don't have to tell you what happened

To the kids from Diff'rent Strokes

Punky Brewster's 15 minutes

Lasted for years before it got old

You're never quite so cute

And I should know

Once puberty takes its toll

And no one knows their whereabouts

What they do or what they did

Chew 'em up and spit 'em out

Like all of the Cosby kids

It's the toughest game and the hardest time

It's the longest walk on the thinnest line

Its sad and true that they love then kill

Where do they go when they die?

To the big '80s sitcom in the sky

Michael J Fox was a household name

In 1985
