Those Were The Days

Boy, the way Glenn Miller played

Songs that made the hit parade

Guys like me we had it made

Those were the days

Didn't need no welfare state

Ev'rybody pulled his weight

Gee our old LaSalle ran great

Those were the days

And you knew who you were then

Girls were girls and men were men

Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again

People seemed to be content

Fifty dollars paid the rent

Freaks were in a circus tent

Those were the days

Take a little Sunday spin

Go to watch the Dodgers win

Have yourself a dandy day

That cost you under a fin

Hair was short and skirts were long

Kate Smith really sold a song

I don't know just what went wrong

Those were the days
