Boy, the way Glenn Miller played
                    C7
Songs that made the Hit Parade
                 F           G
Guys like us, we had it made
               C
Those were the days

Didn't need no welfare state
Everybody pulled his weight
Gee, our old La Salle ran great
Those were the days

                   F
And you knew where you were then
                      C
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 just don't know what went wrong
Those were the days
