Those were the days,
When we were so young,
Unlike the kids of today,
We knew how to have fun.

We ran through the fields,
And rolled down the hills,
We played in the rain daily,
But we never took ill.

We knew all our friends,
We played Marbles and hopscotch,
Every minute we had to spare.
 Play unfair, we always got caught.

Ah I remember it well,
Playing games like Show & Tell.
We never had a telephone,
We just knew when Ma said to be home.

No Microwave to heat our lunch,
We ate at the table with the bunch.
Ah I remember it well.
If we did wrong friends wouldn’t tell.

We all had a sled for the winter time,
A yard with swings and a see saw,
We had the world in our hands,
Dad was at work, at home was Ma.

Those were the days we had,
To think of it now makes us sad.
We thought those times were rough,
Today I find life is more tough.

Ah I remember it well,
We have so many stories to tell,
The cost of living, the pay then made,
Times have changed, our life will soon fade.
