The Blanks Good Old Days Lyrics

Once upon a time
(Once u-pon a / Time so long ago)
We played in harmony)
(Playing, playing / Happy all the time)
Spanky, Spud and Stymie
(Spanky, Spud and / Stymie I did know)
A pup named Pete and me
(Here boy, Petey / They were pals of mine)
Motley friends we made
(Motley friends we / Made forever and)
And happy songs we sang
(Happy songs we / Sang together, oh)
I recall those good old days
(I recall those good old days)
With you and all our gang
(With you and all our gang)

I can see chases, turns and twists
(I can see chases, turns and / Twists around the bend)
And mischief made for fun
(Mischief made for / Fun, fun, fun all day)
Old man shakes his fist
(Old man shakes his / Fist and frowns again)
As the little rascals run
(Little rascals / Run, run, run away)
Secret pranks we played
(Secret pra-nks / Not a sound and then)
That ended with a bang
(Ended with a / With a great, big bang)
Such a ball, those good old days
(Such a ball, those good old days)
With you and all our gang
(With you and all our gang)

Calendar leaves falling down
(Weep-wow)
Tossed by the wind all around
(Weep-wow)
Seasons have passed away
(Seasons / Passing away from me)
(Ooh, passing a- / Way, a-way)
(Seasons / Pass a-way)
Once there were skies that were clear
(Weep-wow)
Now, like the face in the mirror
(Weep-wow)
Ev'rything's gone to gray
(Ooh, ah / Ev'rything's gray to me)
(Ooh, ev'rything's / Gray, so gray)
(Ooh, ah / Gray, so gray)
Gray, like the state that I'm in
(Weep-wow)
Dreaming of where I have been
(Weep-wow)
Fearful of where I'm bound
(Fearful of where I'm / Bound)
(Fear, Fearful of / Where I am bound)
(Fearing / Where I am bound)
Scattered about on the ground
(Weep-wow)
Calendar leaves falling down
(Weep-wow)

Time has traced its tears
Where once I gazed and smiled
Faces show the years
Yet my heart remains a child
Dreaming in the shade
While distant school bells rang
Leaves must fall like good old days
With you and all our gang
