LYRICS:
When I was a lad summers were longer
Families were closer and somehow stronger
There were more birds and butterflies
That flittered and fluttered and filled the skies
I could be wrong but I'm not
Guess I could be wrong but I'm not

Roads were quieter less traffic we'd see
The grass was greener and advice was free
We played in the street enjoying our games
Neighbours were friendly we knew their names
I could be wrong but I'm not
Guess I could be wrong but I'm not

We hadn't much money but life was grand
We walked to the shop with coins in our hand
Big jars of sweets were on display
We'd choose from different jars each day
I could be wrong but I'm not
Guess I could be wrong but I'm not

Life was simpler and worries were few
Dad stoked the fire and mother made stew
We'd play Monopoly after tea
Back then not many folks had TV
I could be wrong but I'm not
Guess I could be wrong but I'm not

Nowadays kids have tons of stuff
They still want more it's never enough
When I was a lad I had what I'd got
Not very much and that was my lot
I could be wrong but I'm not
Guess I could be wrong but I'm not
