I would love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show.
Yes I'd love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show.
Yes I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on the phonograph.
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah.
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time.
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time.
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill.
They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still.
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah.
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 changing but I just don't know.
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah.
