LYRICS:
I still remember that song
All the words we knew
When it started we would
Sing the whole night through

We shared a place together
And our records too
Crazy characters
That's me and you

Let me tell you!
I had so much fun
But the teenage days are gone
But the feeling never ends
And we'll remain the best of friends

No, you didn't care
How your looks could be
It made the people turn their
Heads around to see

When the evening came
So did the magic sound
Let the neighbours know
"Jean Jeanie" is around!

[CHORUS]

Life has a way of changing
And so did you
So respectable
Who could believe it's you

Hey, it doesn't matter
What the others think
Next time "the boys are back in town"
We'll have a drink

[CHORUS]
