Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end;  
We’d sing and dance forever and a day.  
We’d live the life we choose; we’d fight and never lose,  
For we were young and sure to have our way.

How terribly strange to be seventy…

Let’s all get up and dance to a song  
That was a hit before your mother was born.  
Though she was born a long, long time ago,  
Your mother should know, your mother should know.

There once lived a man called Oedipus Rex,  
You may have heard about his odd complex.  
His name ended up in Freud’s index  
'Cause he loved his mother.

You can call me Al.

If you’re feeling sad and lonely  
There’s a service I can render  
Tell the one who loves you only  
I can be so warm and tender

Call me /Don’t be afraid  
You can call me  
Maybe it’s late, but /Just call me  
Tell me and I’ll be around
