Think back to the days when you were young
And the world was looking in
Do you recall, pre-school
Turned out to be pre-anything
And you learned to hide the things you feel
With all those other imbeciles
And it seems so many years ago
I have to say the time went by so fast
The good times are here at last
The good times are here at last
The good times are here at last
Yes the good times are here
Hang your head, you longed to grow
You clamoured to be older so
It's fist to fist and back to back
And the future's bright and the past is black
Then you watched yourself and you watched your friends
As they grew to women and they grew to men
And it seems so many years ago
I have to say the time went by so fast
The good times are here at last
The good times are here at last
The good times are here at last
Don't you know the good times are here
Think back to the days when you were young
And the world was looking in
How things have changed now you look out
And you watch new lives begin
And you learned to hide the things you are
And you talk about your job and your house and your car
And it seems so many years ago
I have to say the time went by so fast
The good times are here at last
The good times are here at last
The good times are here at last
Yes the good times are here at last
The good times are here
