Arnell I can still recall like only yesterday Me and my baby dancin' the night away On Saturday nights there were bands playin' everywhere They had cool looking guitars and greasy hair There was hope in the air good news was spread The war was over, the future bright ahead Those were the days Those were the days My face a smilin' face Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days The right time The right place Those were the days They made the best looking cars the world has seen There were big blond bombshells on the silver screen What a great decade fashion at it's peak Barbeque-parties in the backyard every week On the radio you could hear Little Richard yell Good ol' times I remember oh so well Those were the days Those were the days My face a smilin' face Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days The right time The right place Those were the days Solo Back then the girls were hot and I was cool I was smokin' Ritz, 'n' drinkin' rocket fuel I was too fast to live, too young to die Now the girls are cold and I don't even try Those were the days Those were the days My face a smilin' face Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days The right time The right place Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days My face a smilin' face Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days Those were the days
