3. "Bandala" is another song that fooled me. I've always thought that "Far from the hard times, poor times we're livin'" were the words to the song, but I've been wrong. I'll bet that you knew the right words. What were they?
From Quiz The Partridge Family - Misheard Lyrics
Answer:
Far from the hard times poor town's been givin'
"I rise with the sun
And start my existence
With dreams of the day
When we'll move away
Far from the hard times poor town's been givin'
And move on uptown to a better way of livin'."
