Wasn T It Bit Like Now (remastered Album Version) - The Association

Silly bubbles effervesce

In the mothball smell of a beaded dress

The 'Oh you kids' the marathons

The bathtub gin hungover dawns

The round framed picture the flat straw hat

The long nosed roadster at a mile a minute flat

The bell bottom pants the fine silk vest

Are all tucked away in her cedar chest

Ah ha ha ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ah ah

Wasn't it a bit like now

Huh Mom huh Dad

Are all the memories really gone

Gone of the best darn times

I'll bet you ever had

Instead of groovy it was mean and jeepers it's wild

It just doesn't seem that different now

The why's are the same it's just a question of how

Doesn't it seem a little bit like now

I pose this question to your arching brow

Huh Mom huh Dad

Cosmetic progress intensifies

The so cool look in my baby's eyes

The far out kids the kicks they're on

Obsolete sins new world's dawn

Three pictures for a quarter in your Carnaby hat

Jet propelled cars on the Bonneville flats

Slender legs in their paisley best

All tucked away in her mini dress

Ah ha ha ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ah ah

Wasn't it a bit like now

Huh Mom huh Dad

Huh Mom huh Dad

Are all the memories really gone

Gone of the best darn times

I'll bet you ever had

Instead of groovy it was mean and jeepers it's wild

It just doesn't seem that different now

The why's are the same it's just a question of how

Doesn't it seem a little bit like now

I pose this question to your arching brow

Huh Mom Huh Mom huh Dad
