Benny Hill Sings?Benny Hill... The Best Of
Golden Days
^C ^F ^G7 ^C
^CIt was just this ^Fmorning I ^G7saw you in the ^Cstreet,
My mind went ^Fwinging back to the ^G7days when life was ^Csweet.
When your mother took ^Fus aside and ^G7said, "Now listen, ^Cdears,
Is there anything be^Ftween you?" You said, "^G7Yes, about 25 ^Cyears."
Chorus:
But those ^Fgolden days are ^G7over, they're ^Fin the long gone ^Cby,
^FNever more will ^Cthey return no ^G7matter how we ^Ctry.
^CI recall the ^Ffirst lunch that ^G7your mother cooked for ^Cme,
When I arrived at ^Fyour front door as ^G7hungry as could ^Cbe.
She said, "Now tell me, ^Fcan you guess what's for ^G7lunch today my ^Cson?"
But I knew it was rolly-^Fpolly foot 'cause she ^G7only had one stocking ^Con.
Chorus
I re^Cmember your brother ^FJimmy, ^G7crying one summer's ^Cday,
"Why do you cry, young ^FJimmy?" I ^G7heard your granddad ^Csay.
"'Cause I can't do what the ^Fbig boys do, ^G7that's why I cry," said ^CJim,
"Move ^Cover then," said your ^Fgranddad, and he ^G7sat down and cried with ^Chim.
Chorus
But ^Cit was just this ^Fmorning when ^G7I again saw ^Cyou,
You were with your ^Fhusband and ^G7several children ^Ctoo.
But as I passed you ^Fin the street I ^G7smiled, for I could ^Csee,
What a big fat ^Fugly crow ^G7you turned out to ^Cbe.
Chorus
