Once upon a time, when I was in high school I was in love with you, lady and you treated me so cool. I was drivin' a Chevy '72, it had 4 on the floor, girl, A hundred 20, it would do.

And I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's goin’ on.

And there was a war, baby, somewhere across the sea I don’t wanna go and fight, girl, ‘Cause you were really in love with me. I remember Martin Luther King, Lord he was the man, babe, that gave us all a dream.

And I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's goin’ on. I don't play with my love, oh. And I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's goin’ on.

They used to have sweet music in the park. Lord, up at Monterey straight down to the ?. You used to wear girl, them hot pants And When you strolled down the hall, All the boys wanted a chance.

And I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's goin’ on. I don't play with my love, oh. I remember Otis Redding, Sittin' at the Dock of the Bay - But then he went away. And I remember Sam Cooke ya'll, Just Bring It On Home To Me, From your love I can't be free. I remember Elvis Presley, and them Blue Suede Shoes Lord, they gave me the blues. I remember Marvin Gaye, singin’, yeah... Let's get it on.

that's as close as i could get.
