I've been playing some old that I found in Grandpa's trunk Beside a gramophone, beneath a pile of junk And in that dusty I enjoyed a music show Listening to the melodies of years ago
Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo The band play Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo danced the night away
I long for all the magic and the days of Bring back those good old of yesterday Bring back those old melodies of yesterday
In my youth, I studied music and it taught me how to signora They took me to the and I loved that kind of thing But then I'd listen to the that my grandpa used to tell About the Twenties' and the songs he knew so well
Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo The band play Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo They'd danced the away
I long for all the magic and the of cabaret Bring back good old melodies of yesterday back those good old melodies of yesterday
Then he'd about the flappers and the way they used to dance About the liquor and the ballrooms of romance Then later in the movies there's dancing My grandpa said he dreamed he could move like Fred Astaire
Oh, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo The band would Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo They'd danced the away
I long for all the magic and the of cabaret Bring back good old melodies of yesterday Bring back those old melodies of yesterday
