Pretzel Logic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I would love to tour the Southland
In a travelling minstrel show
Yes, I'd love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show
Yes, I'm dyin' to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on the phonograph
[Chorus]
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
Hey, hey!
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
[Guitar Solo]
I would love to tour the Southland
In a travelling minstrel show
Yes, I'd love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show
Yes, I'm dyin' to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on the phonograph
[Chorus]
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
Hey, hey!
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I stepped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said, "You must be joking son"
Where did you get those shoes?
Where did you get those shoes?
Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changin' but I just don't know
[Chorus]
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
Oh yeah, hey, hey!
I stepped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said, "You must be joking son"
Where did you get those shoes?
Where did you get those shoes?
Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changin' but I just don't know
[Chorus]
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
Oh yeah, hey, hey!
