Pencil Thin Mustache |
| Now they make new movies in old black and white |
| With happy endings, where nobody fights |
| So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage |
| Honey, jump right up and show your age |
| Chorus: |
| I wish I had a pencil thin moustache |
| The Boston Blackie kind |
| A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket |
| And an autographed picture of Andy Devine |
| I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny |
| Writin' fan letters to Sky’s niece Penny |
| Oh I wish I had a pencil thin moustache |
| Then I could solve some mysteries too |
| Then it’s Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast |
| Drinkin' on a fake I.D. |
| Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone’s Bawana |
| But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana |
| Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin moustache |
| Then I could solve some mysteries too |
| Then it’s flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel |
| Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore) |
| Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge, |
| But all you want to do is learn how to score |
| Yeah, but now I’m gettin' old, don’t wear underwear |
| I don’t go to church and I don’t cut my hair |
| But I can go to movies and see it all there |
| Just the way that it used to be Chorus: |
| That’s why I wish I had a pencil thin moustache |
| The Boston Blackie kind |
| A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket |
| And an autographed picture of Andy Devine |
| Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby |
| If I only had a pencil thin moustache |
| Then I could do some cruisin' too |
| Coda: |
| Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab’ll do yah |
| Oh, I could do some cruisin' too |
