Lyrics

Back in the day when I was a little boy
I got to play--it was nothing but fun and joy
But that all changed
I went off to school
It was strange
But I stayed cool hey hey

Back in the day
Back in the day

Back in the day when I was young
I had my say and that can be a lot of fun
But now I don't
It wouldn't be right
I would mope
And stay up all night hey hey

Back in the day
Back in the day

Back in the day I managed to keep my hair
But now it's gray and I've got wear and tear
But I don't mind
I started anew
And I find
I'm happier, too, hey hey, than

Back in the day
Back in the day

Back in the day
Back in the day etc
