[Slim] With misty eyes we reminisce About the good old days, Family and friends, the old home town, Are easy goin' ways,
[Shorty] They don't do things the way we did, They don't know how.
[Slim & Shorty] But these will be the good old days, Twenty years from now.
[Slim] Age will fade the heartaches, Time will dry the tears, Memories of good times, Glow brighter through the years.
[Shorty] But songs will sound much sweeter then; They age like wine,
[Slim] Troubles too will drop away Like leaves falls from the vine.
[Slim & Shorty] And when the band plays it's last waltz And takes its final bow, These will be the good old days, Twenty years from now.
[Instrumental]

[Slim] And when the band plays its last waltz And takes its final bow.
[Slim and Shorty] Yes these will be the good old days, Twenty years from now. Remember these will be the good old days, Twenty years from now. That's right!
