Now, my favorite movie is in black and white­-
An “Auld Lang Syne” ending- it’s a wonderful life!
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage
People, jump right up and show your age….

Chorus:
I wish I had a pencil-thin moustache
The Burt-The-Copper kind;
A too-small, rickety “Number-3” jersey;
And an autographed picture of Samuel S. Hinds.

Granville vandals scandals, broken windows plenty;
Losing 8 thousand, down to the penny.
Oh I wish I had a pencil-thin moustache,
Then I could solve some mysteries too!

There's Violet Bick; Blaine kid’s sick; lasso the moon;
Tension on the candlestick phone. (HEE HAW!)
Yeah, and raining at the bank run, where everybody hollers
But saving Bailey Brothers are Mama and Papa dollars.
Yeah, I wish I had a wooden oak wheelchair,
Then I could steal some properties too!

In younger days – Holidays– Public domain;
Airing a million times a week. (HOT DOG!!)
A couple different versions, and colorized aversions,
No matter when you tune in, you’d find the time to peek.

Yeah, but now I’m gettin old, that movie never airs
Though NBC-TV throws a crumb but once a year.
But I can rent the movie and see it all there
Just the way that it was meant to be!

Chorus:
Thats why I say I am a fan, still to rehash
Every period time.
From two-town parallel Pottersville rackets
To a thirty-year Bedford Falls spanning time-line.



Oh, I could be anyone I happen to view
Maybe suave Potter’s goon or an elfin AS2
If I only had a wooden oak wheelchair
Then I could do some cruisin’ too!

Coda:
Yeah, ASK DAD- HE KNOWS It’s Sweet Caparal!
Oh, I could do some sledding too!!!!!
