Remember

Do you remember When we were young When everything Was so much fun Every Saturday morning To the pictures we'd go We'd sit with our friends In the front row We were ABC minors And we sang our song With the words on the screen We'd sing along Then after the show We'd go off to play And act out the stories We'd seen that day Then it was off to the sweetshop With all our mates too For a quarter of pear drops And a penny chew We would see the traffic Travelling so far And wonder what it felt like To ride in a car Oh we were young then We were so free And when we got hungry We'd go home for our tea But then we grew up The days grew colder We carried the weight Of the world on our shoulder Though our burdens seem heavy And this life is a pain When we remember We are happy again We can relive those days When there was no pain And forget our troubles And be children again
