Jaba Daba Doo

Once upon the time when I was young
The life we lived inspired this song
Fairy tale of the past that won’t be back again
Saints were hunting witches around town
King died in war, world ruled his clown
And more than gold we used to adore fire and rain

Every single piece of fruit we had
Been turned into brandy by my dad
Couple of drops in tea cured man of sleepless nights
One day when river just gone dry
We had a shaman, strange old guy
Using his magic to turn gods back to our side

Long gone are days when we sang jaba daba doo
Nobody cared about who you are, or what you do
Horses were free, why hide the beauty under bonnet of the car
Long gone are times when we used to sleep under star

What’s hunger we had no clue
Daily menu was barbecue
No one cared about any calories or weight
Back then no man would break his world
Unwanted guests been chased by sword
We placed fun first and work could always wait

Long gone are days when we sang jaba daba doo
Nobody cared about who you are, or what you do
Horses were free, why hide the beauty under bonnet of the car
Long gone are times when we used to sleep under star

Too easy to live in the past. We must plow on whether we want to or not.
