- 27 - These are the times we shall dream about, And we'll call them the good old days. When the years have rolled away we shall dream of the times we had, the songs we used to sing. So while we're together let us laugh at the weather and whatever the Gods may bring.

When all our youth is but memory, And the years bring the parting of the ways, Then believe me fellas, These are the times we shall dream about, And we'll call them, the good old days.
