When I was young, I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my songs to play
When they played, you'd sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy days
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 we loved so well

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo, still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's so fine

When we get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
It can really make you cry
Just like before, it's yesterday once more
(Yesterday once more, 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 you
And you'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 wo-wo-wo, still shines
(Only oldies, but goodies)
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting 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
(Yesterday once more)

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo, still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's so fine

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo, still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's so fine

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo, still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's so fine
