Well leh tell ah story bout long ago
When mih mammy was here and she did know
When we used to call soca calypso
All over de radio

Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old

Long ago we used to take ah cool walk
Right down to the shop
We used to go and see Prakash on he bike
And get doubles pipping hot
No video games for dem children
Dey outside playing dey marble pitch
And all de little girls outside playing rounders
Dem is the days I miss

Ah wish ah had ah genie lamp
So when ah rub it
Ah getting meh self three wishes
Wish number one is to bring back mom
And to help she to do the dishes
While we have ah conversation we never had
About the facts of life
She used to say that we had it nice
And now yuh in paradise

Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old

So many stories dat I could tell yuh
Bout de time when I was small
Like when I did see Papa Rocky
In Morvant Savannah and all
It was indian and african
Together having ah ball
With meh travel fox and levi jeans
Playing General Grant shot call

Now with this genie lamp ah have in meh hand
Ah go give it ah rub again
Wish number two is for me and you
To ease the world out ah she pain
And to bring T and T back
To where it used to be back in my time
And if anything did happen to me
Mih mammy will say that it's fine

Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old

Ah wish ah had ah genie lamp
So when ah rub it
Ah could get mih self three wishes
It's plain to see that wish number three
Was to take away mummy illness
But mummy yuh gone so here's ah song
That I am doing for you
You shall live on via your children
And we all love you

Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old
Bring back the days of old
Days of old

Bring back the days of old

And yuh in my soul
Bring back the days of old
