I hope the following lyrics bring back the days of Bob Hope and, “THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!”
The ukulele, and ARTHUR GODFREY,
candelabra, LIBERACE.
The twang of DWAYNE EDDY,
instrumental to memory, there were so MANY.
Learner and LOWE,
MY FAIR LADY,
Belafonte, six foot, seven foot, eight foot BUNCH,
16mm, 35mm, and CINERAMA.
Moving pictures and that Hawkeye CAMERA.
David Nivin, Ida Lupino, Four STAR Theatre,
the British Arthur Rank Films and that big huge HAMMER.
We grew up with Carol Burnett and I LOVE LUCY,
The Beachcombers and Bruno GERUSSI.
Wayne and Schuster, Lorne Green,
the black and white test pattern and the SILVER SCREEN.
Now there’s the TURNER CHANNEL
to take us BACK.
Today, dreaming of slower, simpler times,
it’s fun to watch the old re-runs and movies before hitting the SACK.
