Give Me Black and White Tv

The keystone cops made us laugh ‘til we cried.
Humor on TV was innocent fun.
Nineteen sixties was a jolly good ride.
Stuff on there today makes me want to run.

Andy Griffith and Fathers Knows Best
Gave us wholesome family time every week
We did not have to know about the rest
All the blood and gore that today we seek.

Let’s go back to the black and white I think.
Where times were innocent and well said. 
Where Doris Day dressed up in mink. 
And everyone did not hop in bed.
