Too Many Golden Oldies

Lyrics

[A Cappella Intro] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Well, you know how it feels When you hear a song That reminds you of a happy time Not just the words Or the tune or the band Or the harmony or rhyme [Pre-Chorus 1] You just get a feelin' that lifts your heart And hits you in your soul They don't write songs like that anymore And what ever happened to rock and roll? [Chorus] But you can have too many golden oldies And nothing left to do Too many songs from a time gone by When are we gonna get one new? Too many golden oldies And nothing left to say Too much livin' in a golden past What're we gonna do about What're we gonna do about today? [Break] Hey, this is Willie Wilson from WBIX It's the Golden Oldies Show! Today, it's back to 1982 [Verse 2] Now, I've been thinkin' a lot About the way we live That maybe we should break away Get a place or two 'Case I change my mind For something you might say [Pre-Chorus 2] So I tell myself I had something good Leaving for a while But that old line won't work anymore I think it's time for a change of style [Chorus] When you get too many golden oldies And nothing left to do Too many songs from a time gone by When are we gonna get one new? Too many golden oldies And nothing left to say Too much livin' in a golden past What're we gonna do about What're we gonna do about today? [Bridge 1] We got hung up on the way we were And what we become we can't see We'd better take a look at ourselves right now Nostalgia isn't what it used to be [Chorus] Too many golden oldies And nothing left to do Too many songs from a time gone by When are we gonna get one new? Too many golden oldies And nothing left to say Too much livin' in a golden past What're we gonna do about What're we gonna do about today? [Bridge 2] What're we gonna do about What're we gonna do about today? [Outro 1] "Peggy Sue" and "Mighty Quinn" and "Green Tambourine" "California Dreamin'" and a yellow submarine "Maybellene" and "Rip It Up" and "Knock On Wood" Take good care of my baby, please, Johnny B. Goode "Going Back" and "Happy Jack" and "Matthew and Son" I wanna hold your hand and we'll have fun, fun, fun "Satisfaction," "At the Hop," "American Pie" Tell me when you'll be my baby, "Lucy in the Sky" "Mony, Mony," "Sugar, Sugar," "Runaround Sue" "Wooly Bully," "Lonely Boy," and "Stuck On You" "Georgy Girl" and "Penny Lane" and "Dock of the Bay" "You Lost That Lovin' Feeling," baby, "That'll Be The Day" "Monday, Monday," "Candy Man," "A Quarter to Three" "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree" [Outro 2] Hey, this is Willie Wilson from WBIX What you've been listening to Will be the Golden Oldies Show! Can you remember what you were doing in 1986? I doubt it, frankly Hey, listen, you gotta join me The same time tomorrow Because we're having so much fun We can't hardly stand no more Every oldie's a goldie And if you dig 'em by the platters We may even find some called in to be eaten Yeah, well, keep those calls rollin' in Because that's what I wanna do Is to hear from you...
