Like Young (Perry Como W/Michael Ayres) - Mitchell Ayers and His Orchestra, Perry Como

I’m out doin' the usual places

And I’m livin' it, like young!

Then I dig me this face of all faces

She’s the craziest, like young!

She drinks coffee at Café Espresso

She reads Kerouac, like young!

She goes where all the angry young men go

Recites poetry, like young!

We start blowin' the pad about lovin'

And we’re homin' it, like now!

We spin records on cloud number seven

And she’s reaching me, like wow!

(He’s all unstrung

‘Cause man, she’s got him feelin' like young!

If she were to frosh him and go

He’s startin' to wear his hair again

Just like a square again!)

I keep a getting' the kookiest notion

I think maybe it’s like love!

I’ve been feelin' a crazy emotion

I think baby, it’s like love!

Now we’re ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville

And we’re makin' it like young!

Love.

.. soft as April snow!

Love.

.. warm as candle glow!

Love.

.. love is easy go!

Now we’re ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville

And we’re makin' it like young!
