Old World - Jonathan Richman

Well the old world may be dead

Our parents can’t understand

But I still love my parents

And I still love the old world

Oh, I had a New York girlfriend

And she couldn’t understand how I could

Still love my parents and still love the old world

So I told her:

I want to keep my place in the old world

Keep my plave in the arcane

'Cause I still love my parents and I still love the old world

Alright

I say old world

I say old world

I say

Well I see a '50's apartment house

Bleak in the morning sun

But I still love the '50's

And I still love the old world

I wanna keep my place in the old world

Keep my place in the arcane

'Cause I still love my parents and I still love the old world

Alright

I see the '50's apartment house

It’s bleak in the 1970's sun

But I still love the '50's

And I still love the old world

I wanna keep my place in this old world

Keep my place in the arcane knowledge

And I still love the '50's and I still love the old world

Alright now we say bye bye old world

Gotta help the new world

Oh bye bye

I say bye bye bye bye old world
