I Was a Mod Before You Was a Mod

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
