You could hardly see for all the snow, Spread the
rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set, "Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet."
Depending on the channel you tuned, You got Rob
and Laura - or Ward and June.
It felt so good. It felt so right.
Life looked better in black and white.
I Love Lucy, The Real McCoys, Dennis the Menace,
the Cleaver boys, Rawhide, Gunsmoke,
Wagon Train, Superman, Jimmy and Lois
Lane.
Father Knows Best, Patty Duke, Rin Tin Tin and
Lassie too, Donna Reed on Thursday night!
-- Life looked better in black
and white.
I wanna go back to black and white.
Everything always turned out right.
Simple people, simple lives...
Good guys always won the fights.
Now nothing is the way it seems, In living color
on the TV screen.
Too many murders, too many fights, I wanna go back to black and white..
In God they trusted, alone in bed, they slept, A
promise made was a promise kept.
They never cussed or broke their vows.
They'd never make the network now.
But if I could, I'd rather be In a TV town in '53.
It felt so good. It felt so right.
Life looked better in black and white
I'd trade all the channels on the satellite,
If I
could just turn back the clock tonight to when everybody knew wrong from
right.
Life was better in black and white!
Remember that life's most simple pleasures are
very often the best.
