Days Gone By
[MARACZEK]
Young, strong ... oh, I was something in days gone by
With some girl who just happened to catch my eye
Slim, straight, light on my feet
Shoes just skimming the ground
One-two-three, one-two-three, follow the beat
Around, around, around
All night circling the floor
'Til dawn lit up the sky
No one younger than I
In days gone by

(Spoken)
But then I met Mrs. Maraczek and ever since I've danced only with her. I bet you think that's incredible

[GEORG, spoken]
No! Mrs. Maraczek is a beautiful woman

[MARACZEK]
Young, strong ... oh, I was something in days gone by

[GEORG, spoken]
Oh, the fact is I'm a terrible dancer

[MARACZEK]
With some girl who just happened to catch my eye
[GEORG, spoken]
Well, I can do it with my hands, it's just—

[MARACZEK]
Slim, straight, light on my feet

[GEORG, spoken]
I've always had trouble with my feet!

[MARACZEK]
Shoes just skimming the ground

[MARACZEK / GEORG]
One-two-three, one-two-three, follow the beat
Around, around, around

[MARACZEK, spoken]
Ms. Ritter!

[SIPOS, spoken]
Relax!

[ILONA, spoken]
And go back-two-three, back-two-three

[SIPOS, spoken]
Smile!
[ARPAD, spoken]
That's it, Mr. Nowack!

[ILONA, spoken]
Spin me around
And go back-two-three, back-two-three

[MARACZEK, spoken]
Very good, Georg!

[ILONA, spoken]
That's it, Georg!

[MARACZEK]
All night circling the floor
'Til dawn lit up the sky
No one younger than I
In days gone by
