I'm an old fashioned fellow
I love the old fashioned ways
And I have to admit
That I really don't fit into the world as it is nowadays

I'm in love with an old fashioned lady
And I drive an old Model A
Now I realize at last
I belong in the past

And I'm awfully sorry to say (I'll say)
I was born seventy years too late
Wouldn't it have been great to have been around
When the century turned (it turned) to 1900

What a happy time
Was a-nineteen hundred and nine
(A time) when vaudeville was really in it's prime (what a time)

But I was born seventy years too late
Gee, what an awful fate
To be living now instead of then (instead of then)

I'd a-give up all I own
And all the friends I've known
To travel back and live those days again (live 'em once again)

But I was born seventy years too late
Gee, but I really hate those songs they're writing a-nowadays
Just take me a-back when Tin Pan Alley wrote songs about Sally, mother, and Dixie Land
Boy, I'm right with 'em when I hear the rhythm of a real live Dixie band

But I was born seventy years too late
Gee, what an awful fate
To be living now instead of then

I'd a-give up all I own
And all the friends I've known
To travel back and live those days again (once again)

But I was born seventy years too late
Yes, sir, it really appears
That I was born seventy years too late (seventy years too late)
