Intro:
(D) Now they make new (F#7) movies in (B7) old black and white
(E7) With happy endings, where (A7) nobody fights
So (D) if you find your(F#7)self in that (B7) nostalgic rage
Honey, (E7) jump right up and (A7) show your age
I (D) wish I had a (F#7) pencil thin (B7) moustache
(E7) The "Boston (A7) Blackie" (D) kind
A two toned (F#7) Ricky Ric(B7)ardo jacket
And an (E7) autographed picture of (A7) Andy Devine
(D) I remember bein' (D7) buck-toothed and skinny
(G) Writin' fan letters to (Bb) Sky's niece Penny
Oh I (D) wish I had a (F#7) pencil thin (B7) moustache
Then (E7) I could solve some (A7) mysteries (D) too
Then it's (Em) Bandstand, (B7) Disneyland, gro(Em)win' up (B7) fast
(Em) Drinkin' on a (B7) fake I(Em)D
Yeah, and (F#m) Rama of the (C#7) jungle was (F#m) everyone's Ba(C#7)wana
But (E7) only jazz musicians were (A7) smokin' marijuana
Yeah, I (D) wish I had a (F#7) pencil thin (B7) moustache
Then (E7) I could solve some (A7) mysteries (D) too
(D) (F#7) (B7) (E7) (A7) (D)
Then it's (Em) flat top, (B7) dirty bob, (Em) coppin' a (B7) feel
(Em) Grubbin' on the (B7) livin' room fl(Em)oor so sore
Yeah, they (F#m) send you off to (C#7) college,
Try to (F#m) gain a little (C#7) knowledge,
But (E7) all you want to do is (A7) learn how to score
Yeah, but (D) now I'm gettin' (F#7) old, I don't (B7) wear underwear
I don't (E7) go to church and I (A7) don't cut my hair
But (D) I can go to (F#7) movies and (B7) see it all there
Just the (E7) way that it (A7) used to (D) be
I (D) wish I had a (F#7) pencil thin (B7) moustache
(E7) The "Boston (A7) Blackie" (D) kind
A two toned (F#7) Ricky Ric(B7)ardo jacket
And an (E7) autographed picture of (A7) Andy Devine
Oh, (D) I could be anyone I (D7) wanted to be
Maybe (G) suave Errol Flynn or the (Bb) Sheik of Araby
If I (D) only had a (F#7) pencil thin (B7) moustache
Then I (E7) could do some (A7) cruisin' (D) too
Yeah, (D) Bryl-cream, a (D7) little dab'll do yah
Oh, (E7) I could do some (A7) cruisin' (D) too
