They say there was a time
After the age of rhyme
When two young Californians changed the way we live our lives

Yeah they were metal heads
Not what you'd call well read
But held the power to transform a world that needed fed

Bill Preston Esquire
Ted Logan brought the fire
But long ago our heroes found their situation dire

To pass a school report
They pulled a last resort
Thanks to a new friend outside of a convenience store

When Rufus told his tale
They thought his words were stale
Until they met their future selves and then they couldn't bail

Some claim it's over done
And just a lot of buzz
I'm glad it was the two of them and not me because

They're not just Myld Stallyns
They're great ones changing history
They're not just Myld Stallyns
They've got a phonebooth time machine

They're not just Myld Stallyns
Hanging out with Freud and Socrates
Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns
Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns

What's the best place to start
To go back just how far
How about Austria and Napoleon Bonaparte

This journey opened doors
What if they brought back more
Past figures throughout history would raise the score

Way back to Athens Greece
The old west D.C.
Maybe go to England have a talk with Henry

Beethoven jamming songs
See Joan in Orléans
The last stop Mongolia gotta pick up Genghis Khan

They're not just Myld Stallyns
They're great ones changing history
They're not just Mild Stallyns
They've got a phonebooth time machine

They're not just Myld Stallyns
Hanging out with Freud and Socrates
Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns
Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns

You know they're gonna win the day
Something's a foot at the Circle K
You know it's gonna be all right
Do some chores then head to the mall tonight

They staged a jail break
There was so much at stake
Sometimes your stepmom drops you off but hey that's okay

Our heroes had the tools
When they showed up at school
But don't forget that San Dimas High School football rules

They got a standing O
For their report and so
There's no chance of flunking heinously they're good to go

If I can quote my brothers
You should all tell each other
Make sure you're all staying excellent to one another

They're not just Myld Stallyns
They're great ones changing history
They're not just Myld Stallyns
They're gonna do it musically

They're not just Myld Stallyns
Yeah they'll get better wait and see
Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns
Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns
