Bb               Dm7 
Bye, goodbye our pastels badges but it
Gm                    F    
means some kind of happy birthday
Eb                 Bb
Hey, beatnik boys! All you blue boys!
Cm                 F
Teenage kicks can't die! (aaaaaaahhhhhhh)


Bb               Dm7
A postcard from Scotland says it's
Gm                    F
still raining hard in the highland
Eb                     Bb
though there's nothing going on I
Cm                F
hear the truck and train

Eb                  Bb
Now, let's have our fringe-hair cut, just
Dm7                             Gm        F
like James Kirk did long, long, long ago, but
Eb              Bb
our hairdresser should be a boy and
Dm7                         Gm            F
he should have three wishes in his heart

(N.C) Cm            F
Take, take off the badges from our anoraks
(N.C)Bb         Gm
put, put them into the drawers and we
(N.C) Cm           F
swear we'll never forget that feeling so
Bb    F#   Bmaj7 Bb 
good- bye, good- bye!
