Sing an old-fashioned song to a young sophisticate Songtext

von Fats Waller

Ah, sing an old-fashioned song
To a young sophisticated lady
Silver threads among the gold
The sweetest story ever told

Sing an old-fashioned song
To a young sophisticated lady
You can win her once you start
Like your Dad won your Mother's heart

Travel on, yeah,
Down the road to long ago
Travel on
Turn the lights a-way down low

(spoken)
That's it, Yeah

Show an old cameo
To a young sophisticated lady
Put your arms where they belong
And sing an old-fashioned song

(spoken)
Come on, sing, yeah

(instrumental interlude)

Ah, travel on down the road,
Down the road to long ago
Travel on, travel on
Turn the lights way down low, low, low

Show that cameo
To the young sophisticated lady
Put your arms where they belong, belong
Sing an old-fashioned song
