Lyrics
Back in the Day
Dinah Shore Patti Page Johnny Ray was all the rage
The Crew Cuts sang Sha boom Sha boom
While Mr Sandman filled the gloom
Oh but what can I say
That was back in the day
All the world was Ok
At least it seemed that way
Ricky sang Hello Mary Lou
Buddy told us 'bout Peggy Sue
Elvis sang Heartbreak Hotel
While Johnny B. Good was ringin' a bell
Oh but what can I say
That was back in the day
All the world was Ok
At least it seemed that way
Sargent Pepper and his band came along
We all joined in and sang the songs
If you were there then you'll understand
Can't Buy Me Love I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Oh but what can I say
That was back in the day
All the world was Ok
At least it seemed that way
Otis Sittin' On The Dock Of the Bay
Bobby singin' Lay Lady Lay
Oh so many I just cant choose
Eddie singin' bout them Summertime Blues
Oh but what can I say
That was back in the day
All the world was Ok
At least it seemed that way
Fats Domino was findin' his thrill
Hangin out on Blueberry Hill
While Johnny Cash was Walkin' the Line
Marvin Gaye he Heard it through the Grapevine
Oh but what can I say
That was back in the day
All the world was Ok
At least it seemed that way
