Once there was a man
Who felt quite free
One day he met a friend
And they sat under a tree
It was a sunny day
By the gates of
Old Athens and
That was the day
They threw their whole lives away
And that was the day
They threw it all down the drain
Once there was a girl
Who had the whole world in her hands
She wanted to live
Wanted to fly and dance
It was a sunny day
By the gates of Old Athens and
That was the day she threw her whole life away
And that was the day
She threw it all down the drain
Hey-hey, she threw her whole life away
Hey-hey, she threw it all down the drain
Once there was a man
Who felt quite free
One day he met a friend
And they say under a tree
It was a sunny day
By the gates of
Old Athens and
That was the day they threw their whole lives away
And that was the day they threw it all down the drain
Hey-hey, they threw their whole lives away
Hey-hey, they threw it all down the drain
