Now they make new movies in old black and white
E                          A
With happy endings, where nobody fights
   D               F#7          B7
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage
       E7                A7
Honey, jump right up and show your age
 
  D            F#7         B7
I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
E           A       D
The Boston Blackie kind
  D         F#7     B7
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
       E7                     A7
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine
D                     D7
I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny
G                      A#7
Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny
     D            F#7         B7
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
       E7               A7        D
Then I could solve some mysteries too
 
          Em         B7          Em         B7
Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast
Em            B7     Em
Drinkin' on a fake I.D
          F#m         C7         F#m         C7
Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana
    E7                       A7
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana
        D            F#7         B7
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
     E7                 A7        D
Then I could solve some mysteries too

Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel

Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)

Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge
            E7            A7
But all you want to do is learn how to score
 
          D               F#7        B7
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
  E7                       A7
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
    D           F#7        B7
But I can go to movies and see it all there
         E7          A7      D
Just the way that it used to be

Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
       G                       A#7
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
     D          F#7        B7
If I only had a pencil thin moustache
     E7              A7        D
Then I could do some cruisin' too
