Back in the Day

Back in the day

When we were little kids

We used to imitate

The latest Hit Parade

We sang the good old songs

The radio would play

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

We'd sit in the movies all day

'Til the nighttime came around

Back in the day

Wow, see that guy that asked me to dance?

I don't know

How tall is he, anyway?

Hm, did you see his socks?

I mean, who wears socks like that?

I don't know, I shoulda thought more about it

Those old Hand Williams songs

The way Chet Atkins played

Big bands and honkey-tonk

Dixieland bands marching on the parade

And Eddie Cochran strummed along

While Kay Starr sang her Wheel of Fortune song

Back in the day

Back in the day

When we were little kids

We used to imitate

The latest Hit Parade

We sang the good old songs

The radio would play

Back in the day
