back in the day

back in the day

when we were little kids

we used to imitate

the latest hit parade

and sang the good old songs

the radio would play

and those movie stars

lived out a fantasy

with those pretty chicks

and those handsome dudes

and we danced the night away

back in the day

back in the day

we used to bunk off school

we used to break the rules

and sit in the movies all day

till the nighttime came around

back in the day

wow. see that guy that asked me to dance?

i don't know him. how tall was he anyway?

hmm. did you see his socks? i mean who wears socks like that?

i don't know. should have thought more about it. those old hank williams songs

the way chet atkins played

big bands and honky-tonk

and dixieland bands marching on the parade

and eddie cochran strummed along

while kay starr sang her wheel of fortune song

back in the day

ooh

back in the day

back in the day

when we were little kids

we used to imitate

the latest hit parade

and sang the good old songs

the radio would play

back in the day
