In my life I've never stopped  
to worry about a thing 
Opened up and shouted out  
and never tried to see 
Wondering if I'd done wrong 
Will this depression last for long 
 
[CHORUS] 
Won't you tell me 
Where have all the good times gone 
Where have all the good times gone 
Where have all the good times gone 
 
Once we had an easy ride  
and always felt the same 
Time was on our side  
and I had everything to gain 
Let it be like yesterday 
Please let me have happy days 
 
Ma and Pa looked back on all the things they used to do 
Didn't have no money and they always told the truth 
Daddy didn't have no toys 
And Mummy didn't need no boys 
 
[CHORUS] 
 
Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play 
But let's face it things are so much easier today 
Guess you need some bringing down 
Get your feet back on the ground 
 
[CHORUS]
