[F#] [B]
[E] [A] [D] [Bm]

[E] To the happy endings where [A] nobody fights
[D] So if you [F#] find yourself in that [B] nostalgia grave,
[E] honey, jump right up [A] and show your age
[D] [A] [D] I wish I [F#] had a pencil [B]-pen mustache
[E]
The [A] Boston [D] blackhead kind
A two [F#]-tone Ricky [B] Ricardo jacket
[E] And an autographed picture [A] of Andy Devine
[D] I remember being buck-toothed and skinny
[G]
Writing fan letters [A#] disguised as me
Honey, oh, [D] I wish I [F#] had a pencil-pen mustache
[E] Then I could [A] solve some mystery, [D] too
[Em] Then it's man [B]-stand Disneyland [Em] growing [B] up fast

Rubbing [B] on the living room [Em] floor of Soap
So it [F#m] can send you [C#] off to college
[F#m] Try to gain a little knowledge

I'm [F#] getting old, [B] don't wear underwear
[E] I don't [Bm] go to church [A] and I don't cut my hair
[D]
But I [F#] can go to [B] movies and see it all there
[E] Just the way [A] that it used [D] to be
That's why I wish [F#] I had a [B] pencil-pen mustache
[E]
The [A] Boston [D] Blackie kind
A two [F#]-tone Ricky [B] Ricardo jacket
[E] And an autographed [A] picture of Andy Neumann
[D] Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
[G] Maybe Swaye, Beryl Flynn, [A#] or a chief of Arab
If [D] I only [F#] had a [B] pencil-pen mustache
[E]
Then I [A] could do some [D] cruising, too
Yeah, brittle, creamy, my little dabble
Oh, [E]
I could do [D] cruising, too
