- Verse:
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
- Where we used to raise a
glass or two.
- Remember how we laughed
away the hours,
- And dreamed of all the great
things we would do.
Chorus:
- Those were the days my friend.
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we chose we'd fight and never lose,
For we were young and sure to have our way.
- La la la la la la la la
la la la la,
- Those Were The Days, oh
yes, those were the days.
