Try: Those Were The Days – a big hit on both sides of the Atlantic for Mary Hopkin (n.b.: no "s") in the late 60's – produced by Paul McCartney
Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do?
Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way!
Di di di di…
