Текст песни Those Were the Days - Invisible Inc.

By the way Glenn Miller Plays,) Oh that Glenn Miller boy
(Songs that made the hit parade) Hah
(Guys like us we had it made,) Yeah, yeah we sure did
(Those were the days)

Ah
Yes indeed remember like it was yesterday
Wondrous Chris Columbus set off to sail in the seven seas (land ho!)
Made it to the mainland and declared it as the West Indies
Then generously blessed the natives there with fresh identities
India, shmindia,
Indians and the settlersWe grabbed us
Some friends from Gambia, best friends forever
These heavenly days of free blankets (those were the days)
Banquets and slumber parties ′til the seventeen seventies
Manifesting these destinies crafted the revolution
We beat the crap out the British then drafted the constitution
All men are created equal like negro people we traded
Upgraded from monkeys to a whole three-fifths of a human
Yuge
What an honor we were doing farmers and their
Cotton picking buddies croonin' (la la la la la)
Happy tunes
We lived civilly
Until we warred civilly kissed and then fixed the union good as new

Back before we freed the slaves
And they plowed these amber waves
Guys like me we had it made
Those were the days
Those were the days
