1959

He'd Brylcream his hair

And straighten his tie

When he walked out the door

He'd kiss his mother goodbye

He's got the keys

To his father's FJ

He's takin' out Jenny

It's their first date

He knocks on her door

He can hear his heart pound

Her father appears

And looks him up an down

He said, "Jen won't be long

So you'd better come in."

And he waits on the couch

Flowers in his hands

There's been so many changes

Down through the years

There's been so many good things left behind

You can call me sentimental

But I really wouldn't mind

If you wrapped me up

And sent me back to 1959

They's go to a dance

JOK would be there

And she'd look so pretty

Ponytail in her hair

He plucked up the courage

To take her hand in his

And there on the doorstep

They stole their first kiss

There's been so many changes

Down through the years

There's been so many good things left behind

You can call me sentimental

But I really wouldn't mind

If you wrapped me up

And sent me back to 1959

They fell in love

They remember the night

When he nervously asked her

Would you be my bride

When they made that promise

Till death do us part

You know that they meant it

Straight from the heart

There's been so many changes

Down through the years

There's been so many good things left behind

You can call me sentimental

But I really wouldn't mind

If you wrapped me up

And sent me back to 1959

You wrapped me up and sent me back to 1959
