Those days were a daze!

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)
