Those Were the Days

Now I want everybody to lift your little chocolate chip hands

And join along and sing along with me

Everybody say, “Alright, so right”

Everybody knows that those were the days

Alright, so right, everybody knows that those were the days

Starting at the age back when I was four

Having faith paid off, now we’re out on tour, that’s right

Every girl never had the time to call, yeah yeah

Now they claim to be my baby doll—ain’t that funny

I wish times, I wish times had never changed

We’ve seen better days

I’m not trying, I’m not trying to drown the world

But we’ve all known that those were the days

Alright, so right

Everybody knows that those were the days

Alright (all right), so right (so right)

Everybody knows that those were the days

Now I remember when having a dollar was fine

Today’s dollar’s not even worth a dime

And I remember going out was fun, yeah yeah

And now you can’t go out without packing a gun

(Ain’t that somethin’? You gotta pack a gat before you go out)

I wish times, I wish times had never changed

We’ve seen better days

I’m not trying, I’m not trying to drown the world

But we’ve all known that those were the days

Everybody say alright (alright), so right (so right)

Everybody knows that those were the days

Alright (all right), so right (so right)

Everybody knows that those were the days

Those were the days, way way back

We used to chill, just a bit more than relax

Slip outside, forget to lock your door

You know things’ll be cool but not anymore

So we keep trying and strengthening the fact

So we could bring those days back

Chillin’ outside, playing Tag or Red Rover

Wish those days weren’t over

Though we got a show in every single phase

How it was back in those days

(Those were the days) You know it

(Those were the days)

Now in times like these, you’ll hear anything

You know that’s right

(Everybody knows that those were the days)

Alright (alright), so right (so right)

Everybody knows that those were the days

Alright (all right), so right (so right)

Everybody knows that those were the days

(Those were the days)

Alright (Those where the days), so right (all right)

Everybody knows that those were the days

Alright (all right), so right (so right)

Everybody knows that those were the days

(Those were the days)

Alright (Those where the days), so right

Everybody knows that those were the days

(Those were the days)

Alright, so right

Everybody knows that those were the days

(Those were the days)

Alright, so right

Everybody knows that those were the days

(Those were the days)

Alright (I remember when…), so right

Everybody knows that those were the days

(Those were the days)

Alright, so right (Those were the days)

Everybody knows that those were the days
