I remember a time when I was young
Everything was simple
An' life was always fun
We used to sing in the kitchen
We thought everybody did
But that was years ago when we were kids
We lived in a shack on the sand
It was built out of driftwood
By my grandfather's hands
My Dad was a sailor
He made a living catchin' fish
That was years ago when we were kids
Everything was good
When we were kids
We had an old wood stove
And a kerosene fridge
We didn't have TV
But we knew someone who did
Everything was good
When we were kids
And now I got kids fully grown
They've made a new life
With kids of their own
They're still singin' in the kitchen
Just the way that we did
So long ago when we were kids
Everything was good
When we were kids
We had an old wood stove
And a kerosene fridge
When mum said wash the dishes
We just ran and hid
Everything was good
When we were kids
We didn't have TV
But we knew someone who did
That was so long ago
When we were kids
