Those days were a daze!
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to break a glass or three
Remember how we laughed at the barman
Think of all the great things we got free!
Those days were a daze my friend
We thought we’d never mend
We’d run and prance for hours without end
We’d live on musambi juice
We’d fight on without a truce
For we were stung and swore to have revenge
Refrain: Oo-oo-oo-oooooooo
(refrain from saying anything)
When the busy steward went rushing by us
We blasted him in indignation as he passed our way
If a glance you’d give me in the washroom
We’d grimace at one another and we’d bray
Those days were a daze my friend
We thought we’d never mend
We’d run and prance for hours without end
We’d live on musambi juice
We’d fight on without a truce
For we were stung and swore to have revenge
Oo-oo-oo-oooooooo
(refrain)
Just to-day I staggered near the tavern
The way in seemed crookeder than it used to be
In my glass I saw a strange concoction
Was that glowing lemon really free
Those days were a daze my friend
We thought we’d never mend
We’d run and prance for hours without end
We’d live on musambi juice
We’d fight on without a truce
For we were stung and swore to have revenge
Oo-oo-oo-oooooooo
(frown)
Through the floor came Amelia the doctor
She saw my face and tried to recall my name
Oh my friend we’re old but she’s older
For in her heart the beats are out of time
Those days were a daze my friend
We thought we’d never mend
We’d run and prance for hours without end
We’d live on musambi juice
We’d fight on without a truce
For we were stung and swore to have revenge
Oo-oo-oo-oooooooo
(refrown)
