Lyrics
V1
Those were the days, as I was growing up
My big brother picked me up
Singing YOUR SONG was where it all began
Ron swung me like I was a ROCKET MAN
V2
Ron took me camping in a STOLEN CAR
Helped with homework, (he) taught me guitar
Drove me downtown to see Elton live
Prayed he'd never finish his encore, GOODBYE
Oh woh woh woh
(Chorus:)
If HONKEY CAT can make you high
And if SAD SONGS can make you cry
There's only one piano player's songs that fit the bill
You can't go wrong", say's my brother Ron
With a little bit of Elton John"
La la la la la, La la la la la, La la la la la la---
V3
Ron moved overseas, found himself a wife
Leaving me singing ELDERBERRY WINE
Say's his TINY DANCER is a corker
He's a MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER
Oh woh woh woh
[Repeat Chorus]
Bridge:
I'll always have Ron, Elton and Bernie
In my head and my heart on my life's journey
Oh woh woh woh
[Repeat Chorus]
La la la la la, La la la la la, La la la la la la
