Those Canaan Days

Those Canaan Days - Jimmy Serino Company

Do you remember the good years

In Canaan

The summers were endlessly gold

The fields were a patchwork of clover

The winters were never too cold

We'd stroll down the boulevards together

And everything was fine

Now the fields are dead and bare

No joie de vivre anywhere

Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine

Those Canaan days we used to know

Where have they gone

Where did they go

Eh bien raise your berets

To those Canaan days

Do you remember those

Wonderful parties

The splendor of Canaan's cuisine

Our extravagant elegant soirees

The gayest the Bible has seen

It's funny but since we lost Joseph

We've gone to the other extreme

No-one comes to dinner now

We'd only eat them anyhow

I even find

I'm missing Joseph's dreams

Those Canaan days we used to know

Where have they gone

Where did they go

Eh bien raise your berets

To those Canaan days

It's funny but since we lost Joseph

We've gone to the other extreme

Perhaps we all misjudged the lad

Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad

And how we miss his entertaining dreams

Those Canaan days we used to know

Where have they gone

Where did

Did they go

Eh bien raise your berets

To those Canaan days

Eh bien raise your berets

To those Canaan days
