I've been playing some old records that I in Grandpa's trunk Beside a wind-up gramophone, beneath a of junk And in that dusty attic I enjoyed a show to the melodies of eighty years ago
Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo The band play Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo They'd the night away
I for all the magic and the days of cabaret Bring back those old melodies of yesterday back those good old melodies of yesterday
In my youth, I studied music and it taught me how to Bella They me to the opera and I loved that kind of thing But then I'd listen to the stories my grandpa used to tell the 'Roaring Twenties' and the songs he knew so well
Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo The band would Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo They'd the night away
I long for all the and the days of cabaret Bring back those old melodies of yesterday Bring back those good old of yesterday
Then he'd talk about the flappers and the way they to dance About the bootleg liquor and the ballrooms of Then later in the movies there's everywhere My grandpa said he dreamed he could move like Fred Astaire
Oh, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo The would play Doo wacka, doo wacka, doo wacka, doo danced the night away
I long for all the and the days of cabaret Bring back good old melodies of yesterday Bring back those old melodies of yesterday
