THESE ARE THE DAYS Tune: Those Were The Days. (I had to rewrite it because the line "we'd live the life we choose" was making me crazy.) After two years closed due to Covid, Lark Music Camp is happening in the Mendocino Woodlands again this year! (July 28-August 5th) But will it be the same? Once upon a time we’d go to Lark Camp Hugging all the old friends that we knew Drinking chai and coffee at the Mullah’s * Boasting of the great things we would do. 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 chose And wear our hippie clothes Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days. All those Irish tunes with pipes and fiddles All the jokes that now we can’t recall Playing our accordions and banjos Singing with the Brunos and John Paul. Those were the days, my friend We thought they'd never end We'd eat and drink forever and a day We'd play the tunes we knew And sing a song or two For we were young and we knew how to play. At the Woodlands there’s familiar laughter Saw your face and heard you call my name Many friends have gone to the hereafter But the joyful music’s still the same. These are the days, my friend We hope they'll never end We won’t give up our happy hippie ways Our kids will carry on When all of us are gone These are the days, oh yes these are the days. *The Coffeehouse of the Mullah Nasrudin's Donkey
