Yesterdays... Yesterdays... Yesterdays If you want to clap your hands it's okay If you want to snap your fingers it's all right Such a nice groove For some nice folks I want to tell you a story About how I started out I believe the year was 1976 When I decided to leave my home you see It was time for me to go out into the world and to seek my fortune I had a choice I could either be starved and be cold And move to the east Or starve and be hot So hot you see and move to the west I picked LA I wanna share with you the first five chapters of my life Chapter One I was walking down the street With my head held high and my pockets filled with dreams And I feel into a hole I said to myself who put that hole there Whoever put it there sure is mean So I picked myself up out of the hole Dusted myself off and went on my merry way Chapter Two I was walking down the same street Feeling good And I fell into a hole I said to myself who put this hole there Whoever put it there sure is mean So I climbed up out of the hole and I dusted myself off went on my way And remember thinking not everybody loves you like your mother Chapter Three I was walking down the same street When I fell, oh yes I fell I tumbled hard this time Down the same hole I said to myself I know this hole I've been here before and I don't want to come back no more So I picked myself up out of the hole Dusted myself off Said hole you ain't gonna get me no more Well... Chapter 4 I was walking down the same street I like to flurt with danger That's my nature But this time I saw the hole and I jumped over the hole I said hole you won't get me no more I kicked some dirt into the hole Well now That I learned how to live I'm living what I learned So I'm in chapter five right here right now And I'm walking down a new street Feelin' healthy Feelin' fine Feelin' prosperous oh the whole the world is mine I take my time Do as I Please Please when I want to It sure feels good They say life begins after that number and it sure does Yesterday Yesterday Yesterdays I love Yesterdays Yesterdays Now I'm thinking about today
