Too Many Golden Oldies

[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...
