1. When I was young I'd listen to the radio, waitin' for my favorite songs,

2. Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by, and the good times that I had,

1. when they played I'd sing along, it made me smile.

2. makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed.

1. Those were such happy times and not so long ago, how I wondered where they'd gone.

2. It was songs of love that I would sing to them and I'd memorize each word,

1. But they're back again just like a long lost friend, all the songs I loved so well.

2. those old melodies still sound so good to me, as they melt the years away.

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,

every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine.

When they get to the part where he's breakin' her heart, it can really make me cry, just like before,

it's yesterday once more (shoobidoo-lylay, shoobidoo-lylay).
