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

CHORUS: 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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
