Days Gone By

(Mr. Maraczek, I haven't been to a dance hall in years!)
I know what you bachelors are like
Remember, George, I was once one myself
And what a bachelor!

Young, strong
Oh, I was something in days gone by
With some girl
Who just happened to catch my eye

Slim, straight, light on my feet
Shoes just skimming the ground
One-two-three, one-two-three
Follow the beat around, around, around

All night circling the floor
Till dawn lit up the sky
No one younger than I
In days gone by

And then I met Mrs. Maraczek
And ever since, I've danced only with her
I bet you think that's incredible
(No)

Young, strong
Oh, I was something in days gone by
(Mrs. Maraczek's a beautiful woman)
With some girl
Who just happened to catch my eye
(If I could find the right girl)

Slim, straight, light on my feet
Shoes just skimming the ground
One-two-three, one-two-three (Fact is, I'm a terrible dancer)
Follow the beat around, around, around
(I can do it with my hands all right)

All night circling the floor (I always have trouble with my feet)
Till dawn lit up the sky
No one younger than I
In days gone by
