  F7 F7 G7 [5X; start to fade 3rd time]
  Silly  bubbles effervesce
  In the mothball  smell of a beaded dress
  The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons
  The bathtub  gin, hungover  dawns
  The round-framed  picture, the flat straw hat
  The long-nosed  roadster at a mile a minute flat
  The bell-bottom pants, the fine silk vest
  Are all tucked  away in her cedar chest
 
Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha
 
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ah-ah
  Wasn't it a bit like now
  Huh Mom, huh Dad?
  Are all the memories really gone
  Gone of the best  darn times
  I'll bet  you ever had
  Instead of "groovy"  it was "mean"
  And jeepers, it's wild
  It  just doesn't seem that different  now
  The why's  are the same,  it's just  a question  of how
  Doesn't  it seem a little  bit like now
  I pose  this question to  your arching  brow
  Huh Mom,  huh Dad?
  Cosmetic  progress intensifies
  The so-cool  look in my baby's eyes
  The far-out kids, the kicks they're on
  Obsolete  sins, new world's dawn
  Three pictures  for a quarter in your Carnaby hat
  Jet-propelled  cars on the Bonneville flats
  Slender legs in their paisley best
  All tucked  away in her mini-dress
 
 
 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers

        [Bb]Silly bubbles effervesce
        In the m[F7]othball smell of a beaded dress
        The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons
        The b[Bb]athtub gin, [F#7]hungover d[F7]awns
        The r[Bb]ound-framed picture, the flat straw hat
        The l[F7]ong-nosed roadster at a mile a minute flat
        The bell-bottom pants, the fine silk vest
        Are all [N.C.]tucked away in her cedar chest

              [F7]
        Ah-ha-ha   Ah-ha-ha
                        [F7] [E7] [F7]

        The [Bb]why's are the sa[A]me, it's j[Ab]ust a q[G7]uestion of how
        [Eb]Doesn't it seem a little[Edim] bit like now
        I p[Bb]ose this qu[A]estion [Ab]to your a[G7]rching brow
        Huh [C7]Mom,[F7]   huh [Bb]Dad?
