| Yesterdays… Yesterdays… Yesterdays
|
| If you want to clap your hands it’s okay
|
| If you want to snap your fingers it’s all right
|
| Such a nice groove
|
| For some nice folks
|
| I want to tell you a story
|
| About how I started out
|
| I believe the year was 1976
|
| When I decided to leave my home you see
|
| It was time for me to go out into the world and to seek my fortune
|
| I had a choice
|
| I could either be starved and be cold
|
| And move to the east
|
| Or starve and be hot
|
| So hot you see and move to the west
|
| I picked LA
|
| I wanna share with you the first five chapters of my life
|
| Chapter One
|
| I was walking down the street
|
| With my head held high and my pockets filled with dreams
|
| And I feel into a hole
|
| I said to myself who put that hole there
|
| Whoever put it there sure is mean
|
| So I picked myself up out of the hole
|
| Dusted myself off and went on my merry way
|
| Chapter Two
|
| I was walking down the same street
|
| Feeling good
|
| And I fell into a hole
|
| I said to myself who put this hole there
|
| Whoever put it there sure is mean
|
| So I climbed up out of the hole and I dusted myself off went on my way
|
| And remember thinking not everybody loves you like your mother
|
| Chapter Three
|
| I was walking down the same street
|
| When I fell, oh yes I fell I tumbled hard this time
|
| Down the same hole
|
| I said to myself
|
| I know this hole
|
| I’ve been here before and I don’t want to come back no more
|
| So I picked myself up out of the hole
|
| Dusted myself off
|
| Said hole you ain’t gonna get me no more
|
| Well… Chapter 4
|
| I was walking down the same street
|
| I like to flurt with danger
|
| That’s my nature
|
| But this time I saw the hole and I jumped over the hole
|
| I said hole you won’t get me no more
|
| I kicked some dirt into the hole
|
| Well now
|
| That I learned how to live
|
| I’m living what I learned
|
| So I’m in chapter five right here right now
|
| And I’m walking down a new street
|
| Feelin' healthy
|
| Feelin' fine
|
| Feelin' prosperous oh the whole the world is mine
|
| I take my time
|
| Do as I Please
|
| Please when I want to
|
| It sure feels good
|
| They say life begins after that number and it sure does
|
| Yesterday Yesterday Yesterdays
|
| I love Yesterdays
|
| Yesterdays
|
| Now I’m thinking about today |
