Well, I remember when I was young
The world had just begun and I was happy
I used to wonder about the earth
And how it moved around the sun so snappy
"Imagination goin' wild makes a very backward child", they told me
So back at school I'd sit around
Just waitin' for the sound so I could go home
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present 'cause the present is now
Well, I remember when I was young how one and
Thripence got ya to the movies
To look tough, we'd lite a smoke
And very nearly choke, but we had a real good time
Growin' older meant you get to fly a saber jet and fight a few wars
So I'd just sit there all day and let my mind decay somethin' awful
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now
Well, I remember when I was young
I had a secret love who never knew it
Well, I'd do tricks upon my bike
That never turned out right, I always blew it
And the day we had to part, I had a broken heart but couldn't let on
So I spent my holidays just thinkin' of the ways I must've gone wrong
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present 'cause the present is now
Well, I remember when I was young
The Beatles turned me on, I really blew my mind
And we'd carry Jack and Pam
We'd go and watch a band and have a real good time
Then I heard the blackman's blues
They really blew a fuse inside my head
So with some friends we made a stand
And formed our first Blues band, it was a real good thing
Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present 'cause the present's now
Well, I remember when I was young
I remember when I was young, I surely do
Well, I remember when I was young
I remember when I was young, I surely do
