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
And 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!
