Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#][B]
[E][A][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Now they make new [F#]movies
in [B]old black and white
[E]With happy endings, where nob[A]ody fights
So [D]if you find your[F#]self in that [B]nostalgic rage
Honey, [E]jump right up and [A]show your age

[Chorus 1]
I [D]wish I had a [F#]pencil thin [B]mustache
[E]The "Boston Bla[A]ckie" kin[D]d
A [D]two toned [F#]Ricky Ri[B]cardo jacket
And an [E]autographed picture of [A]An dy Devine
[D]I remember bein' buck- toothed and skinny
[G]Writin' fan letters to [Bb]Sky's niece Penny
Oh I [D]wish I had a [F#]pencil thin [B]mustache
Then [E]I could solve some m[A]ysteries t[D]oo

[Bridge 1]
Then it's [Em]Bandstand, [B]Disneyland,
[Em]growin' up [B]fast
[Em]Drinkin' on a [B]fake [Em]I.D.
[Fm]Yeah, and [F#m]Rama of the j[C#]ungle
was [F#m]everyone's Ba[C#]wana
But [E]only jazz musicians
were [A]smokin' marijuana
Yeah, I [D]wish I had a [F#]pencil thin [B]mustache
Then [E]I could solve some m[A]ysteries t[D]oo

[Interlude 1]
[D][F#][B]
[E][A][D]
[D][F#][B]
[E][A][D]

[Bridge 2]
Then it's [Em]flat top, [B]dirty bob, [Em]coppin' a [B]feel
[Em]Grubbin' on the [B]livin' room [Em]floor (so sore)
[Fm]Yeah, they [F#m]send you off to c[C#]ollege,
try to [F#m]gain a little k[C#]nowledge
But [E]all you want to do is
[A]learn how to score

[Verse 2]
Yeah, but [D]now I'm gettin' [F#]old,
Oh, don't [B]wear underwear
I [E]don't go to church and I [A]don't cut my hair
But [D]I can go to m[F#]ovies and s[B]ee it all there
Just the [E]way that it [A]used to [D]be

[Chorus 2]
That's why I [D]wish I had a [F#]pencil thin [B]mustache
[E]The "Boston Bla[A]ckie" kin[D]d
A [D]two toned [F#]Ricky Ri[B]cardo jacket
And an [E]autographed picture of [A]An dy Devine
Oh, [D]I could be anyone I wanted to be
Maybe [G]suave Errol Flynn or the [Bb]Sheik of Araby
If I [D]on ly had a [F#]pencil thin [B]mustache
Then [E]I could do some c[A]ruisin' t[D]oo

[Outro 1]
Yeah, [D]Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah
Oh, [E]I could do some c[A]ruisin' t[D]oo[A][D]
