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 woo woo 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 woo woo 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 (shoobidoo-lylay). Every sha-la-la-la, every woo woo still shines, every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine
