Lyrics
Chorus
When I was a kid, oh! gee! what funny things I did
I built my castles in the air
But they all tumbled crumbled, everywhere
On my way to school, I’d stop down by the swimmin’ pool
And sit there dreaming and scheming, I guess I was a fool
When I’d play a trick Pa used to spank me
Though they say that you can’t lick a Yankee
But somehow in my memory, those happy days are calling me
I’d give the world if I could be a Connecticut Yankee again
