(with Nat King Cole)
NLong long ago
BLong long ago
BLong long ago
DWell they say it was better in oh so many ways
BLong long ago, long ago
BThey couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car
NAnd on a very cold and wintery night
NThey couldn't sit and watch a TV fight
BAnd when the summer came
BThey will have to take a dame all bundled up to the beach
DThey didn't know a girl could look so cute
DIn a bikini suit
NOh how they sing of the good, good old days
BLong long ago
BLong long ago
DThey couldn't swing in the good old days
BLong long ago, long ago
At same time
NThey couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car
DBut they still talk of the good, good old days
NAnd on a very cold and wintery night
DLong long ago
NThey couldn't sit and watch a TV fight
DLong long ago
NSo when people say to me "nothings like it used to be"
NI don't believe that it's so
DThey say it was better in so many ways
NThey didn't have so much to brag about
DLong long ago, long ago
NLong long ago
BLong long ago
BLong long ago
