I can go anywhere anytime I choose
I will never ever be a substitute
Just set me free and then you'll watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
Drop some blues and away we go
Taking a trip down to the coast
Oh yeah
I was mod before you was a mod
I was mod before you was a mod
And you take me to a higher ground
The coolest love that I have ever found
Just set me free and then you watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
I look cool in my bowling shoes
My Ben Sherman shirt is a classic shade of blue
'Cause I was a mod before you was a mod

Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
We're moving out on a cool dance floor
You're taking me down to a distant shore
I'm grooving the night with Mr. Glove (?)
He's telling me things that I didn't know
'Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
'Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
And you take me to a higher ground
The coolest love that I have ever found
I'm taking a trip down to the coast
I'm digging the scenes that I dig the most
And I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
