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 know where you were then;
Girls were girls and men were men;
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
Didn't need no welfare state;
everybody pulled his weight;
Gee, our old La Salle ran great;
Those were the days!
