Motorcars, handlebars, bicycles for two
Brokenhearted jubilee

Parachutes, army boots, sleeping bags for two
Sentimental jamboree

Buy, Buy says the sign in the shop window
Why, why says the junk in the yard
Ya da da da da La da da da

Buy, Buy says the sign in the shop window
Why, why says the junk in the yard
Ya da da da da da da la la la la la

Candlesticks, building bricks
Something old and new
Memories for you and me
