It wasn't "just a song".
“Boy the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the Hit-Parade
guys like us, we had it made
those were the days
And you knew who you were then
Boys were boys and Men were men..
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again
DIdnt need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.....
Those were the days.......”
Yep...words and lyrics have meaning....even from the mouth of Archie Bunker and Edith
