Picture Book lyrics

Picture yourself when you're getting old

Sat by the fireside a-pondering on

Picture book, pictures of your mama

Taken by your papa, a long time ago

Picture book of people with each other

To prove they love each other, a long ago

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Picture book, picture book

A picture of you in your birthday suit

You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon

Picture book, your mama and your papa

And fat old uncle Charlie out cruising with their friends

Picture book, a holiday in August

Outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend

Picture book when you were just a baby

Those days when you were happy, a long time ago

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Picture book, picture book

Picture book, picture book

Picture book

Na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

A-scooby-dooby-doo

Picture book

Na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

A-scooby-dooby-doo

Picture book, pictures of your mama

Taken by your papa, a long time ago

Long time ago, long time ago

Long time ago

Yeah, yeah, yeah
