Back then long time ago when grass was green Woke up in a daze Arrived like stangers in the night
(Fab, doo, doo, doo, doo) Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) Back when [[The Beatles:Taxman|income tax]] was all we had
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light Casualties at dawn And we did it all
(Fab, doo, doo, doo, doo) Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) [[The Beatles:In My Life|In my world]] you are my only love
And while youre in this world The fuzz gonna come and claim you But you mo better wise When the buzz gonna come and take you away Take you away Take you away
The microscopes that magnified the tears Studied warts and all Still the [[The Beatles:Within You Without You|life flows on]] and on
(Fab, gear) Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) But [[Bob Dylan:Its All Over Now, Baby Blue|its all over now, Baby Blue]]
(Doo, doo, doo, fab) Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) Like this pullover you sent to me
(Oh, fab, doo, doo, doo, gear) And [[Smokey Robinson:You Really Got A Hold On Me|youve really got a hold on me]] (Oh, fab, doo, doo, doo, gear) Long time ago when we was fab
