When I was young
          I'd listen to the radio
          Waitin' for my favorite songs
          When they played I'd sing along
          It made me smile.

          Those were such happy times
          And not so long ago
          How I wondered where they'd gone
          But they're back again
          Just like a long lost friend
          All the songs I loved so well.

          Every Sha-la-la-la
          Every Wo-o-wo-o
          Still shines
          Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
          That they're startin' to sing's
          So fine.

          When they get to the part
          Where he's breakin' her heart
          It can really make me cry
          Just like before
          It's yesterday once more.

          Lookin' back on how it was
          In years gone by
          And the good times that I had
          Makes today seem rather sad
          So much has changed.

          It was songs of love that
          I would sing to then
          And I'd memorize each word
          Those old melodies
          Still sound so good to me
          As they melt the years away.

          Every Sha-la-la-la
          Every Wo-o-wo-o
          Still shines
          Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
          That they're startin' to sing's
          So fine.

          All my best memories
          Come back clearly to me
          Some can even make me cry.
          Just like before
          It's yesterday once more.
