And you knew who you were then!

Girls were girls and men were men...

Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again

People knew who they were then
Watching shows like Gentle Ben

Disco Duck and Fleetwood Mac
Coming out of my 8 Track
Michael Jackson still was black
THOSE WERE THE DAYS

The lyrics are pretty much entirely social heresy nowadays.

Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the Hit Parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.

People seemed to be content,
Fifty dollars paid the rent,
Freaks were in a circus tent.
Those were the days.

Take a little Sunday spin,
Go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day,
That cost you under a fin.

Hair was short and skirts were long.
Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong,
Those were the days.

Well, the entire point of the show was that holding on the "good old days" isn't the best way to get through life.

Although some of it has aged, like the Herbert Hoover reference...
