intro:
I would love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show

Yes I'd love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show
Yes I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh

Sound just like a record on the phonograph
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah


short break:


I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
I have never met Napoleon

But I plan to find the time yes i do
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still

Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah


solo:

I stepped upon the platform

The man gave me the news
He said, You must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes? Oh hoo

Where did you get those shoes?

Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show

They say the times are changing but I just don't know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
