[Verse 1]
We never had that much to do
So we just lay around in someone's house
Someday I'll have it all again just like way back when
[Verse 2]
Back then we'd sleep until the afternoon
Then we'd just get up and go outside
Open a window, let the breeze blow in, forget everything
[Chorus]
Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing
When I'm old and when I'm grey and when I stop working
I hope that I can say when all my days are done, we were just having fun
[Verse 3]
Well we'd go drinking in the afternoon
Lie out on the grass and fall asleep
Oh, will I ever see that girl again, the girl from way back when?
[Verse 4]
Yeah, we used to share a cigarette
And throw together everything we had
And then go driving in my parents' car
We never strayed too far
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing
When I'm old and when I'm grey and when I stop working
I hope that I can say when all my days are done that I had my fun
[Post-Chorus]
(One, two, three, four)
Those will be the days that I had my fun
[Chorus]
(Again!)
Yeah, time can move so fast
Some things aren't made to last
So here's to you, my dear old friend
From way back when
(Again!)
[Chorus]
Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing
When I'm old and when I'm grey and when I stop working
I hope that I can say when all my days are done that I had my fun
