Those Amazing Days

Original lyrics by Stan C. Countz

Back in the day my momma’d take us
To the Saturday movie matinee
We loved Betty Boop and Bette Davis
Danny Thomas and Danny Kaye

Superman would fly to save us
Mighty Mouse always saved the day
Mom and dad never had to pay us
We loved Cary Grant and Doris Day

We thought they were the greatest
Watched King Kong and Faye Wray
We prayed to the one who made us
And cared what dad had to say

Mary and Marlo wore the latest style (we were)
Lost in Space and on Gilligan's Isle
Woody and Arlo went the second mile
And Perry Mason never lost a trial

And who could forget Carol Burnett
Dragnet, Goober and Gomer Pyle?
They made us forget and smile
At least for a little while

But when the King would sing
Everyone would smile
to see a wild toe head child
dancin’ in the aisles

That little kid was me
Way back in Sixty Three
I was only eight
But even I could see

Those days were great
And there will never be
Anything quite like
Those amazing days
