Folks love to talk of the good, good old days Long, long ago, long, long ago Well, they say it was better in oh, so many ways Long, long ago, long ago They couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car And on a very cold and wintery night They couldn't sit and watch a TV fight And when the summer came They will have to take a dame all bundled up to the beach They didn't know a girl could look so cute in a bikini suit Oh, how they sing of the good, good old days Long, long ago, long, long ago They couldn't swing in the good, good old days Long long ago, long ago They couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car (But they still talk of the good, good old days) And on a very cold and wintery night (Long, long ago, long, long ago) They couldn't sit and watch a TV fight So when people say to me, "Nothing's like it used to be" (They say it was better in so many ways) I don't believe that it's so (Long, long ago, long, long ago) They didn't have so much to brag about Long, long ago, long, long ago, long, long ago
