Ye Ole Grammy Phone
Crank up ye ole grammy phone
Play me some of those good old tunes
Like “Happy Days Are Here Again!”
“By The Light Of The Silvery Moon”
Remember ditties from way back when
You could actually decipher the words
Hope young people aren't reading this
They'll be thinking I'm quite a nerd
Songs from the World War Two years
Billy Holiday's “My Old Flame”
Or “White Christmas” by Der Bingle
The Duke's “Take The 'A' Train”
You could call it Nostalgia One-O-One
Wishing those times were still here
Wanting it to be forever summer
Days of soda, pretzels and beer!
