Way back in the mists of the 1950's Transistor radios were really quite nifty I saved for such a long time Spent every last one of my dimes Bought me a red crystal-set 'rocket ship' A radio custom-built to take a long trip Under the covers I'd dive about nine The reception on WABC, New York, just fine I'd stay up way past...

The good old days was when we were kids Living free and having fun Not a care in the world We made up our own games to play Like hop-scotch, jump rope, tag Red light even hide and seek Kids were safe playing outside, as long as they played in front of their door The good old days was when we...
