All in the Family theme song
Theme song: Those Were the Days
I have always heard the line "Gee our old LaSalle ran great" as:
"G.I. Joe was sour but great"
Anyway, that theme song was the hardest to listen to b/c I didn't know what Archie and Edith were singing. But here are the lyrics for those interested:
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.
2nd verse:
People seemed to be content
Fifty dollars paid the rent
Freaks lived in a circus tent
Those were the days
Going for a Sunday spin
Come and watch the Dodgers win
Have yourself a dandy day that cost just under a bin.
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.
