He'd Brylcream
his hair
and straighten
his tie
When he walked out
the door he'd kiss
his mother goodbye
He's got the keys
to his father's FJ
he's taking out Jenny
it's their first date
When he knocks
on her door
he can hear
his heart pound
Her father appears
and looks him
up and down
He said "Jen won't be
long so you'd better
come in" and he waits
on the couch
flowers in his hand
There's been so
many changes
down through
the years
There's been so
many good things
left behind
You can call me
sentimental
but I really
wouldn't mind...
If you wrap me up
and send me back
to nineteen fifty nine
They'd go to a dance
JOK would be there
And she'd look
so pretty
ponytail in her hair
He plucked up
the courage
to take
her hand in his
And there
on her doorstep
they stole
their first kiss
There's been so
many changes
down through
the years
There's been so
many good things
left behind
You can call me
sentimental
but I really
wouldn't mind...
If you wrap me up
and send me back
to nineteen fifty nine
They fell in love
they remember
the night
When he nervously
asked her
"Would you be
my bride?"
When they made
that promise
'till death do us part'
You know that
they meant it
straight from
the heart
There's been so
many changes
down through
the years
There's been so
many good things
left behind
You can call me
sentimental
but I really
wouldn't mind...
If you wrap me up
and send me back
to nineteen fifty nine
You wrap me up
and send me back
to nineteen fifty nine
