Discover the story of the song > Picture Book – The Kinks

The song talks about a book filled with pictures from the protagonist's past, including pictures of his parents and friends enjoying life together. The book also includes pictures of him when he was a baby and a picture of him in his birthday suit. The chorus repeats the title, "Picture book," while the bridge adds some fun scatting. The song ends with a reminder that these pictures were taken a long time ago.
