Granddad Sittin’ By The Fire 
Reminiscing Of The Times When He Was A Boy 
In The Good Old Days, He Keeps On Saying 
But Everything I’ve Heard Before
 
Times Were When, Times Were When 
Times That Won’t Be Back Again 
Times Were When 

Times Were When Boys Looked Like Poor Boys 
And Granddad He Said Active Like Young Man Now Should 
He Doesn’t Understand Our Generation 
And In It, He Can See No Good
 
Times Were When, Times Were When 
Times That Won’t Be Back Again 
Times Were When
 
But When I Get To His Age 
I Will Talk Of All The Good Times I Had Today 
Times Were When He Was A Young Man 
And He Thought And Did The Same Things I Do Today
 
Times Were When, Times Were When 
Times That Won’t Be Back Again 
Times Were When
 
Times Were When, Times Were When 
Times That Won’t Be Back Again 
Times Were When
