| Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
| Now they make new movies in old black and white | |
| With happy endings, where nobody fights | |
| So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage | |
| Honey, jump right up and show your age | |
| Chorus: | |
| I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
| The 'Boston Blackie' kind | |
| A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket | |
| And an autographed picture of Andy Devine | |
| I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny | |
| Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny | |
| Oh I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
| Then I could solve some mysteries too | |
| Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast | |
| Drinkin' on a fake I.D. | |
| Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana | |
| But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana | |
| Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
| Then I could solve some mysteries too | |
| Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel | |
| Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore) | |
| Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge, | |
| But all you want to do is learn how to score | |
| Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear | |
| I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair | |
| But I can go to movies and see it all there | |
| Just the way that it used to be | |
| Chorus: | |
| That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache | |
| The 'Boston Blackie' kind | |
| A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket | |
| And an autographed picture of Andy Devine | |
| Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be | |
| Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby | |
| If I only had a pencil thin mustache | |
| Then I could do some cruisin' too | |
| Coda: | |
| Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah | |
| Oh, I could do some cruisin' too |
