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.
