Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett |
| [00:07.86] |
Now they make new movies in old black and white |
| [00:12.24] |
With happy endings, where nobody fights |
| [00:15.39] |
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage |
| [00:18.96] |
Honey, jump right up and show your age |
| [00:24.36] |
Chorus: |
| [00:26.04] |
I wish I had a pencil thin mustache |
| [00:30.30] |
The 'Boston Blackie' kind |
| [00:31.98] |
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket |
| [00:37.26] |
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine |
| [00:41.73] |
I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny |
| [00:45.81] |
Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny |
| [00:48.57] |
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin mustache |
| [00:52.68] |
Then I could solve some mysteries too |
| [00:56.10] |
Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast |
| [01:00.57] |
Drinkin' on a fake I.D. |
| [01:03.72] |
Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana |
| [01:08.16] |
But only jazz musicians were smokin' ********* |
| [01:10.47] |
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache |
| [01:15.96] |
Then I could solve some mysteries too |
| [01:28.50] |
Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel |
| [01:38.94] |
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore) |
| [01:42.24] |
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge, |
| [01:46.62] |
But all you want to do is learn how to score |
| [01:50.01] |
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear |
| [01:54.15] |
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair |
| [01:58.29] |
But I can go to movies and see it all there |
| [02:01.62] |
Just the way that it used to be |
| [02:03.63] |
Chorus: |
| [02:05.31] |
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache |
| [02:10.14] |
The 'Boston Blackie' kind |
| [02:11.76] |
A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket |
| [02:17.28] |
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine |
| [02:20.43] |
Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be |
| [02:24.48] |
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby |
| [02:27.72] |
If I only had a pencil thin mustache |
| [02:32.67] |
Then I could do some cruisin' too |
| [02:34.23] |
Coda: |
| [02:36.15] |
Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah |
| [02:40.38] |
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too |
