That old sorta music is the kind I will never, I'll never forget Oh, that's a memory Sweet old memory I remember all the times I could never be alone But then I found music Such good company Oh, I sit and stare at the wall beating time To that age old rhyme, then I'm alright Papa says I'm much too old To be afraid of being alone Without music, but Papa is wrong He is the lonely one He's all alone now Mama's gone Without music, without music Oh, I sit and stare at the wall, I'm beating time To that age old rhyme, then I'm alright Papa says I'm much too old To be afraid of being alone My Papa is wrong Yes, He's a lonely one He's all alone now Mama's gone Without music, without music Oh, I sit and stare at the wall, I am beating time To that age old rhyme, then I'm alright That old sorta music is the kind I will never, I will never forget Oh, that's a memory Sweet old memory
