You know, when I [Dm] look back, my [Ab] favorite childhood memories are the hours I spent with my folks [Bbm] at home.
[B] I remember the [Ab] games I played with Dad, [Cm] all the wonderful [Fm] childhood moments with Mom.
You know something?
She played the ukulele.
[Bbm] She really did, and what [Db] few chords I know, [G] I learned from her.
[Eb] And there are very few.
[Ab] I'd sit at her knee, she'd sing [Eb] me the songs of her generation.
There was one song in particular that I [Ab] remember, and she'd like to still play a couple of [D] chords.

You know, my mother didn't [Db] teach me any [Gb] songs until I was almost seven, back in 1948.
You're rubbing it in.
But I wonder [Db] if anybody remembers this [Gb] one.
So you lie awake and you sing me the blues all night.
Goodie, goodie, and [F] you think that love's a ballad from [Ebm] dynamite.

I never knew the technique of [Cm] kissing.
I never knew the thrill I [G] get from your touch.
I never [Gm] knew much.
[F] Ooh, look at me [Gm] now.
James, did you know that I [D] was writing you to sing that song?
Oh, [A] yes, that was one of Mr.
[D] Sinatra's biggest hits.

They had jukeboxes in those [A] days.
Kids danced around them, didn't [D] they?
Yeah, true.
[A] True.
I agree.
[D] Jukebox Saturday night.
Hey!
[B] Gooseman and Dorsey and Miller
Helped them make things bright.
[A] The one o'clock jump was [Em] a thriller
[Bm] In the jukebox Saturday night.
[Am] They put [B] nothin' past us.
We danced till early [D] morning.
Making one cuckoo laugh.
_ I was [D] born in 1942.
_ [A] _ Well, it was noisy, safe and namely
When they listened to the trumpet of [D] Harry J.
