The ones we used to play so long ago.
What if they sound scratchy, The tunes really were catchy,
And specially those that said, "I love you so."
I used to beg you over and over, Just to set the wedding day,
To get you "courtable," I'd bring my portable, And melt your heart away,
With all those old records, Those old phonograph records,
The ones we used to play so long ago.
"Kitten On The Keys," and "Nola," On the old wind-up victrola,
"Barney Google" was great, And the songs about Kate,
"Jada, Jada," "Boola, Boola," "Yaaka Hula, Hickey Dula,"
"Honey," "Dardanella" and "Sunny."
Meet me on the back porch songs, Torch songs to melt your heart away.
They were good old records, Old phonograph records,
The ones we used to play so long ago.
