Black and White
(Under age 40? You won't understand)
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!

Pass this to someone (over age 40, of course), and brighten their day by
helping them to remember that life's most simple pleasures are very often
the best!

Re: is this a chain letter?

I hate those things.

I suppose it is, technically, a chain letter. But it is relatively benign:
•It only asks you to send on to one person, so there is no pyramid, no exponential growth. •You are not ask to pass anything (money, for example) back to the sender, so it is not a scam. •The contents are not exciting, so lots of people won't send it on. As a result, it should die out fairly quickly unless the originator or some virus is repeatedly reinjecting it.

Re: is this a chain letter?

I got a new message. Is it a chain letter? If so, what should I say to the person who sent it?
