Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
Now they make new movies in old black and white | |
With happy endings, where nobody fights | |
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage | |
Honey, jump right up and show your age | |
Chorus: | |
I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
The 'Boston Blackie' kind | |
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket | |
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine | |
I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny | |
Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny | |
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
Then I could solve some mysteries too | |
Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast | |
Drinkin' on a fake I.D. | |
Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana | |
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana | |
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
Then I could solve some mysteries too | |
Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel | |
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore) | |
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge, | |
But all you want to do is learn how to score | |
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear | |
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair | |
But I can go to movies and see it all there | |
Just the way that it used to be | |
Chorus: | |
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
The 'Boston Blackie' kind | |
A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket | |
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine | |
Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be | |
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby | |
If I only had a pencil thin mustache | |
Then I could do some cruisin' too | |
Coda: | |
Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah | |
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too |

That' s why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
The ' Boston Blackie' kind | |
A twotoned Ricky Ricardo jacket | |
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine | |
Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be | |
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby | |
If I only had a pencil thin mustache | |
