Gone Are the Days

Remember Petticoat Junction? Perhaps Green Acres too? I Love Lucy and Carol Burnett, Just for a laugh or two? Dick Van Dyke and The Munsters, Back when the "tube" was fun; Doris Day and Love That Bob, Don't forget The Flying Nun Maxwell Smart was an agent, We all knew Uncle Jed; Hazel was that clever maid, It's sad how comedy's fled The Honeymooner's over, F Troop's down to zero; The Beaver's long forgotten, While Hogan's lost his heroes Gilligan's left the island, A Jeannie no longer dreams; Car 54, where are you? At times, I wanna scream! Andy was a country boy, Gomer, a seargent's pest; Who made room for daddy? Don't fathers know what's best?! Maynard shaved the goatee, Mister Ed's lost his voice; My Three Sons are missing, Ozzie and Harriet had no choice McHale can't find his navy, The Addams flown away; A Martian ain't so favorite, Our Laugh In's gone astray Primetime's lost its essence, Laughter is a con man's game; A Family Affair's in mourning, Is the "new age" ours to blame?
