[Verse 1: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
The first thing I remember
I was lyin' in my bed
I couldn't have been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio
Comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do
When it's late in the evening
And all the music's seepin' through

[Verse 2: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
The next thing I remember
I am walkin' down the street
I'm feeling alright, I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue
Some guys were shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, yeah
Singin' late in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

[Verse 3: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon]
Then I learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
When I come back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and began to play
It was late in the evening
And I blew that room away
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
First thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
Well, I guess I've been in love before
And once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that I loved you
And it was late in the evening
And all the music seepin' through (Hoo)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel]
First thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
Well, I guess I've been in love before
And once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that I loved you
And it was late in the evening
And all the music seepin' through
