Yesterday, Total power held me in its sway
Now I’m just a fat slob in the way
Oh! How I long for yesterday

Suddenly, just like that, they took my power away
Don’t know how I’ll make it through the day
Another round! “To yesterday”

Why did I smoke coke?
As a joke? I couldn’t say
I said something lewd
Fairly crude, what can I say?

Yesterday, said that I would never go away
Parked my butt and said “I’m here to stay”
The council voted, “Go away”

Can I take the cure?
For a year, wada’ ya’ say?
If I do real good
As I should, please can I stay?

Yesterday, Life, for me, was so care free and gay
Now I need another place to stay
Cause wife just told me, “Go away!”
