When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile LINK (see above)
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
-5
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I love so well
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing so fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
-5
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
INTERLUDE (see above)
Shoobidoo-lang-lang
Shoobidoo-lang-lang
Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
-5
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
(All the oldies but goodies)
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing so fine
All my best memories come back clearly to me
-5
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

CODA
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing so fine
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing so fine
