  • Woo-ee, ooh
    Ooh, uh

    All my life I've never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
    Open up and shout it out, an' never try to sing
    Wonderin' if I've done it wrong
    Will this depression last for long?
    Won't you tell me?

    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?

    Once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
    Time was on our side and we had everything to gain
    This could be like yesterday
    Is that me or happy days?

    Ma and pa look back on all the things they used to do
    Never had no money and they always told the truth
    Daddy didn't need no little toys
    Mommy didn't need no little boys
    Won't you tell me?

    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?

    Ow

    Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
    Ah, but then let's face it, things are easier today
    Yes, you need some bringing down
    Get your feet back on the ground
    Won't you tell me?

    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone?
    Where have all the good times gone? Writer/s: Raymond Douglas Davies
