17 Again lyrics

[MIKE]
I kinda wanna scream
I'm kinda freakin' out
But wait, hold up, that's it
It's just a dream, no doubt
I bet that's all it is
I'll wake without a care
Sitting on my butt with a growing gut
And receding hair
So until this nightmare's over
I'll stay calm, composed, and zen
'Cause there's not a chance in hell
That I am seventeen again

[NED]
This is like crazy cool
Yet cause for some dismay
Somehow you're Mike O'Donnell
With teenage D.N.A
A science fiction plot
Except it's science fact
This morning you were you
Not the you I once knew
Wow, this is so abstract

[MIKE]
Think I'm gonna have a meltdown
Puke my guts out in your den
'Cause I'm, no, it can't be, look at me
I'm seventeen, I'm seventeen, I'm seventeen
[NED]
Worry not, I've seen this issue before
Luckily, there's IMDb to explore
For solutions to this mystical curse
(spoken)
Genre? Body-switching movies
(sung)
"Freaky Friday" mom and daughter were swapped
"Vice Versa" nah, it totally flopped
"Big" is just like you, but in the reverse

[MIKE, spoken]
Ned, my life isn't a movie!

[NED]
Sure your situation isn't the same
Still you're stuck inside a transformative game
And the goal is find a way to return

[MIKE, spoken]
This isn't getting us anywhere

[NED]
If you want to see this magic undone
Think of movies like "Like Father, Like Son"
Every character had a problem
Something wrong they had to set right
Something supernatural pushed them
On the path to seeing the light
[MIKE]
So the universe wants to help me fix my life
That's way out of whack?

[NED]
Here's a chance to reclaim your mojo

[MIKE & NED]
And to get back on the right track
On the right track

[MIKE, spoken]
I think I know why this happened. Scar wants to divorce me, my kids want nothing to do with me...it's like the universe is giving me a do-over

[NED, spoken]
A do-over?

[MIKE]
Okay, I'm thinkin' back

[NED]
Yeah, keep thinkin' back

[MIKE]
To when the change occurred
[NED]
Oh, when the change occurred

[MIKE]
I thought my high school life

[NED]
Your awesome high school life

[MIKE]
Was one that I preferred

[NED]
Woah yeah, you did!

[MIKE]
Back then I had it made

[NED]
The world was at your feet
Sure to go real far as a rising star

[MIKE]
Life was super sweet
Could the reason that I'm looking
Like the kid I knew back then
Be because I should re-join the team?

[NED]
Take another shot, raise your self-esteem

[MIKE & NED]
Stop regretting--go and live the dream

[MIKE]
I abandoned way back when
Yeah, that's what I gotta do
Now that I'm seventeen

[NED]
It's my sci-fi dream come true
Now that you're seventeen

[MIKE]
I'm seventeen

[MIKE & NED]
Woah, seventeen again
