LyricsMother's busy with the cleanupDid you see the way the family loves to eat up My famous casserole Jimmy be a dear and after dinner Will you ride your bike to Mrs. Skinner's and Return her bowl From the Lazy-Boy, Dad drops his shoes Nurse a whiskey and Salem Light While Cronkite delivers the news "And that's the way it is, goodnight." Those days are gone Keep them behind you They'll only remind you The world's moving on Put wheels on the track Cause there's no goin' back Those days are gone Father likes to take his drives on Sunday Says it really is the one day He collects his thoughts In five more years I'll have a pension And on Tuesday I heard Rogers mention A V.P. Spot Pull in and fill up the tank Hey buddy, check under the hood Give God and Washington thanks For all that is good Don't you love the way in all the old movies They show time passing by The calendar pages, they fly off the wall Watch them flutter, watch them fall Watch them fall I'm sittin' by an open window I can feel the way the wind blows Right across these strings Then a ray of sunshine Finds its way into my mind What a wondrous thing When words seem to fall from the sky And some kind of magic's begun Right before my eyes The song is done Well those days are gone Just keep them behind you They'll only remind you The world's just moved on Put wheels on the track Cause there's no goin' back Those days are gone The memorie's sweet But they'll never repeat Those days are gone The years may be dear But you can't get them from here 'cause Those days are gone |
