Black and White TV

By Anonymous

* Black and White TV *

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"

Dependin' on the channel you tuned

You got Rob and Laura - or Ward and June

It felt so good, 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, 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 nothin's the way it seems

In living color or on the screen

I wanna go back to black and white.

In God they trusted, 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 '63

It felt so good, 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.
