As I recall it, the sun was high,   Yellow in the blue, blue sky.   You couldn't quite make out this boy,   He used life as a toy.   In a Marie-Antoinette room   We were introduced soon,   I was me and you were you,   How do you do ?   Raggedy and tousle-haired   He looked as though he never cared   To run a comb where a comb should run,   Freckles from the sun.   Many good times we have had,   We been happy, we been sad,   But I think we both feel glad   That this life is so mad, mad, mad.   As I recall it, the sun was high,   If I remember, the sun was high,   You couldn't quite make out this boy,   He used life as a toy.   Many good times we have had,   We been happy, baby, we been sad,   But I think we both feel glad   That this life is so mad.   As I recall it, the sun was high,   Yellow in the blue, blue sky,   You couldn't quite make out this boy,   He used life as a toy.   Yeah!
