I can go anywhere anytime I choose   I will never ever be a substitute   Just set me free and then you'll watch me fly   And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy   Drop some blues and away we go   Taking a trip down to the coast   Oh yeah   I was mod before you was a mod   I was mod before you was a mod   And you take me to a higher ground   The coolest love that I have ever found   Just set me free and then you watch me fly   And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy   I look cool in my bowling shoes   My Ben Sherman shirt is a classic shade of blue   'Cause I was a mod before you was a mod   Yeah I was mod before you was a mod   We're moving out on a cool dance floor   You're taking me down to a distant shore   I'm grooving the night with Mr. Glove (?)   He's telling me things that I didn't know   'Cause I was mod before you was a mod   Yeah I was mod before you was a mod   'Cause I was mod before you was a mod   Yeah I was mod before you was a mod   And you take me to a higher ground   The coolest love that I have ever found   I'm taking a trip down to the coast   I'm digging the scenes that I dig the most   And I was mod before you was a mod   Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
