Poem
I had dreams of yesterday I woke up with a smile My dreams took me back And it was better for a while. Jeff was calling Lassie We had moonbeams in a jar Perry Como was teaching us To catch a falling star Bishop Sheen was preaching Lawrence Welk was leading the band And we all remembered the Alamo When Davy Crockett made his stand. Clark Kent changed in a phone booth And brought the bad guys to their knees Sugarfoot walked up to the bar And asked for a sarsparilla please Elliott Ness was in Old Chicago Taking on Capone and Nitti While Paul Burke was a detective Inside the Naked City Gene was singing Back in the Saddle With Gabby by his side And Cisco said "Oh Pancho" "Oh Cisco" Pancho then replied Arthur Godfrey had his talent scouts And the Texaco man wore a star Martin Kane was a private detective Perry Mason passed the bar. Maverick and Cheyenne were cowboys Peter Gunn was making noise We learned a little bit about life Just watching the Real McCoys. Car 54, where are you Do you have a secret like Garry Moore Let's sing along with Mitch Is that Ben Casey at the door? Who could forget old Lonesome George And Red Skelton playing a clown You bet your life, I loved Name that Tune And Ed was Toast of the Town. I could go on for days and days About the times we had back then When life was so much simpler In my dreams I remember when.
