Once upon a time in the 70'-80' Where we used to raise a glass or two for 40-50 baht Remember how we laughed away the hours Think of all the great things we would do Those were the days, my friend, where Bernard Trink used to drop by for his next column, the drinks were cheap, the girls were young and pretty ''from up country with mud between their toes' no lady boys, no trans-gees, bar fine was 500 baht and an all nighter was a 1,000 baht and the girl actually wanted to stay andsleep with you all night and you could have another go in the morning with no extra charge, We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd play around and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way Petrol was cheap, food was cheap and the Thai people actually liked you back than Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way If by chance I'd see you in the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say: Those were the days my friend....
