Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Motorcars, handlebars, bicycles for two
Brokenhearted jubilee
Parachutes, Army boots, sleeping bags for two
Sentimental jamboree
[Verse 2]
Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window
Why? Why?, says the junk in the yard
[Verse 3]
Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window
Why? Why?, says the junk in the yard
[Verse 4]
Candlesticks, building bricks, something old and new
Memories for you and me
Written by: Paul McCartney
