Lyrics

I would love to tour the Southland In a traveling minstrel show Yes, I'd love to tour the Southland In a traveling minstrel show Yes, I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh Sound just like a record on the phonograph Those days are gone forever Over a long time ago, oh yeah Hey, hey I have never met Napoleon But I plan to find the time I have never met Napoleon But I plan to find the time, yes, I do 'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still Those days are gone forever Over a long time ago, oh yeah I stepped up on the platform The man gave me the news He said, "you must be joking son Where did you get those shoes? Where did you get those shoes?" Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show They say the times are changing, but I just don't know These things are gone forever Over a long time ago, oh yeah Oh, yeah Hey, hey Alright, alright
