It's traditional to say: "Do away with the old"
It's traditional to say: "Make way for the new"
But I say

Let's not forget the past, baby
Let's not forget where we came from
Let's make the memories last, baby
Let's not forget the past

If you think yesterday doesn't matter now
If you think today is all that counts
Well, baby, think again

Let's not forget the past, baby
Let's not forget where we came from
Let's make the memories last, baby
Let's not forget the past

Let's not forget the past
Let's not forget the past
Whoa, yeah (yeah)
