Standard (EADGBE)
I would love to tour the Southland in a travelling minstrel show
Yes I?d love to tour the Southland in a travelling minstrel show
Yes I?m dying to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on a phonograph
These days are gone forever, over a long time ago, oh yeah
I have never met Napoleon, but I plan to find the time
Yes I?ve never met Napoleon, but I plan to find the time
Cause he looked so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely, he?s lonely still
These days are gone forever, over a long time ago, oh yeah
Solo verse
I stand up on the platform
The man gives me the news
He said you must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes
Where did you get those shoes
Well I?ve seen ?em on the TV the movie shows
They say the times are changing but I just don?t know
These things are gone forever, over a long time ago, oh yeah
