Those Were the Days

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 could do
 Is everybody ready?
 Those were the days, my friend
 We thought it'd never end
 We'd sing and dance forever and a day
 We lived the life we choose
 We'd fight and never lose
 'cause we were young and sure to have our way
 Those were the days my friend
 We thought it'd never end
 We'd sing and dance forever and a day
 We lived the life we choose
 We'd fight and never lose
 Those were the days
 Oh yes, those were the days
 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 could do
 Then the busy years were rushing by us
 We lost our starry notions on the way
 And if by chance I'd see you in the tavern
 We'd smile at one another and we'd sing
 Those were the days my friend
 We thought it'd never end
 We'd sing and dance forever and a day
 We lived the life we choose
 We'd fight and never lose
 'cause we were young and sure to have our way
