Irie days, come on play
Let the angels fly, let the devils die
Got to do what you can with the time at hand
Ali boom mah, yeah, ali boom mah, yeah

Don't worry your mind, it's just the test of time
In five years, these be the good ol' days

No one knows what the future holds
For everything has a season
It's not a time for war, it's a time for peace
Tomorrow knows tomorrow woes

I remember when grandpa used to say
"Grandson, these be the good ol' days"

These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days

Now comes the moon with its starry lights
And so begins the night life
The tribal dance puts me in a trance
As she pulls me in with her magic swing

I asked of her what do we celebrate
She said to me, "These be the good ol' days"

These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days

There is no future, there is only now, now
Let's cherish these moments that we now know, know, know

These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
These be the good ol' days
