Song Lyrics

And the Hatters were doing fine,
Wore it almost every day,
Was the season of 69.

Still remember all the away games,
Like Barrow, Southport and Crewe,
Spent the evenings drinking in the Bobby,
Talking of players old and new.

Standing on the popular side,
We thought we'd have to wait forever,
But when I raised my scarf,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life.

Johnny Price and Len Allchurch,
Alex Young was the star,
But Meadows quit, cos they sold Bill Atkins,
Should have known we'd never get far.

But when I look back now,
That season seemed to last forever,
And, if I ahd the choice,
Yes, I'd always want to be there,
Those were the best days of my life,
Back in the season of 69.

Man we were drinking all the time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever

And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
When I think my old county scarf
Finally made Division One

But when I look back now
That season seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yes I'd always want to be there
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the season of 69
