Back then, long time ago, when grass was green,
Woke up in a daze,
Arrived like strangers in the night.
Fab! Long time ago when we was fab.
Fab! Back when income tax was all we had.
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light.
Casualties at dawn.
And we did it all
Fab! Long time ago, when we was fab.
Fab! In my world, you were my only love.
And while you're in this world,
The fuzz gonna come and claim you.
But your moment unwise,
When the buzz gonna come and take you away,
Take you away.
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Started warts and all.
Still, the light flowed on and on.
Fab! Long time ago, when we was fab.
Fab! But it's all over now, baby blue.
Fab! Long time ago when we was fab.
Fab! Like this all over, you said to me.
Fab! And you really got a hold on me.
Fab! Long time ago, when we was fab.
