Cats - Times were when

Granddad sitting by the fire
Reminiscing of the times when he was a boy
In the good old days he keeps on saying
But everything I heard before
Times were when times were when
Times that won`t be back again
Times were when
Times were boys look like poor boys
And granddad says: " active like young"
Men now should
He doesn`t understand our generation
And in it he can see no good
Times were when times were when
Times that won`t be back again
Times were when
But when I get to his age
I will talk of all the good times I had today
Times were when he was a young man
And he thought and did the same
Things I do today
Times were when times were when
Times that won`t be back again
Times were when
Times were when times were when
Times that won`t be back again
Times were when
