They Don'T Make Em Like They Use To

They don’t make em like they use to Seventeen shots from the old six gun Bad guys wearing black Robots made from cardboard boxes Destroyed then coming back Impossible odds in the good guy fights One against a hundred A cavalry charge to save the day Over the hill they thundered Spaceships flying through starry sky Hanging on some string Gun fire then will take a rest To let Roy Roger’s sing Cannon blasts from the pirate ships Tarzan on his twine The good guy wins—gets the girl It’s Saturday matinée time

I remember Saturday cinema, Robert, thanks for the reminder. Don't forget Hoppalong Cassidy and the Cisco Kid. // Barry.
