[Verse 1]
Folks love to talk of the good, good old days
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Well, they say it was better in oh-so many ways
Long, long ago, long ago

[Chorus]
They couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car
And on a very cold and wintery night
They couldn't sit and watch a TV fight
And when the summer came
They would have to take a dame
All bundled up to the beach
They didn't know a girl could look so cute in a bikini suit

[Verse 2]
Oh, how they sing of the good, good old days
Long, long ago, long, long ago
They couldn't swing in the good, good old days
Long, long ago, long ago

[Chorus]
They couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car (But they still talk of the good, good old days)
And on a very cold and wintery night (Long, long ago)
They couldn't sit and watch a TV fight (Long, long ago)
So when people say to me, "Nothing's like it used to be," I don't believe that it's so (They say it was better in so many ways)
They didn't have so much to brag about long, long ago (Long, long ago, long ago)
Long long ago
Long long ago
