Picture yourself when you're getting old,
You sat by the fireside, pondering all.
Picture book, pictures of your mama,
Taken by your papa a long time ago.
Picture book, of people with each other,
To prove they loved each other a long time 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.

Taken by your papa a long time ago.

Long time ago,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
