SONGS OF YESTERDAY Lyrics

FRASER/RODGERS




Sing me a sad song 
and I'll be right on my way 
a sad song like the songs of yesterday 
well my father used to sing the blues 
sometimes it was good 
but my mother never saw the use 
and she chased him for his blood 
a sad song like the songs of yesterday 
a sad song 
and I'll be right on my way 

Oh you know my father 
always used to say 
a bad workman blames his tools 
but it seems to me 
a man who uses the tools 
is just a fool 

sad song 
and I'll be right on my way 

sad song 
like the songs of yesterday 
  

Well now the streets are filled with silent cars 
and all the world's a stage 
but I must get to work today 
today I get my wage 

sad song 
then I'll get on 
on my way 
just like a song of yesterday 
listen to what I'm gonna say.
