“Somebody mentioned that if you can remember the 60’s, you weren’t really there.
Which brought to mind a song. This is kind of a modern day ‘yuppie – blues’.”

D G A D D/D D/D D/D
I’m looking for my wallet and my car keys, well they can’t have gone too far
G A D D/D D/D
And just as soon as I find my glasses, I’m sure I’ll see just where they are.
G A D D/D D/D D/D
I’m supposed to meet someone for lunch today, but I can’t remember where
G A D D/D D/D
Or who it is that I’m meeting, It’s in my ‘organizer’, somewhere.
G A D D/D D/D D/D
I might have left it on the counter, or maybe outside in the car
G A D D/D D/D
The last time I remember driving, was to that memory enhancement seminar.
G A D D/D D/D D/D
What’s that far off distant ringing, and that strange familiar tone
G A D D/D D/D
Must be the person I am meeting, calling me on my brand new cordless telephone.
G A D D/D D/D D/D
I might have left it under the covers, or maybe outside on the lawn
G A D D/D D/D
And I’ve got just one more ring to go, before my answering machine kicks on.
