“Grandpa (Tell Me ’bout the Good Old Days)” by the Judds

Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like
This world’s gone crazy
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn’t seem so hazy

Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days

Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call it progress
But I just don’t know
And Grandpa, let’s wander back into the past
And paint me the picture
Of long ago

Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days
Oh, Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good old days

“Those Were the Days” by Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton from All in the Family

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 where 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!

“Denver, the Last Dinosaur” by Unknown from Denver, the Last Dinosaur

One, two, three, four

Denver, the last dinosaur
He’s my friend and a whole lot more
Denver, the last dinosaur
Shows me a world I never saw before

From the hot, hot jungle
A long time ago
Comes a cool, cool friend
My pal dino

Denver the last dinosaur
He’s my friend and a whole lot more
Denver the last dinosaur
Shows me a world I never saw before

Everywhere we go
We don’t really care
If people stop and stare
At our pal dino

From pre-history
Through the rock and roll spotlight
We’ve found a friend who helps us make it through all right

That’s Denver the last dinosaur
He’s my friend and a whole lot more
Denver the last dinosaur
Shows me a world I never saw before

“One Last Hope” by Danny DeVito from Hercules

So, ya wanna be a hero, kid?
Well, whoop-de-do!
I have been around the block before
With blockheads just like you

Each and everyone a disappointment
Pain for which there ain’t no ointment
So much for excuses
Though a kid of Zeus is
Asking me to jump into the fray
My answer is two words
OK
You win
Oh gods
Oy vay!

I’d given up hope that someone would come along
A fellow who’d ring the bell for once
Not the gong
The kind who wins trophies
Won’t settle for low fees
At least semi-pro fees
But no, I get the greenhorn

I’ve been out to pasture pal, my ambition gone
Content to spend lazy days and to graze my lawn
But you need an advisor
A satyr, but wiser
A good merchandiser
And oh!
There goes my ulcer!

I’m down to one last hope
And I hope it’s you
Though, kid, you’re not exactly
A dream come true
I’ve trained enough turkeys
Who never came through
You’re my one last hope
So you’ll have to do

Demigods have faced the odds
And ended up a mockery
Don’t believe the stories
That you read on all the crockery

To be a true hero, kid, is a dying art
Like painting a masterpiece, it’s a work of heart
It takes more than sinew
Comes down to what’s in you
You have to continue to grow
Now that’s more like it!

I’m down to one last shoot
And my last high note
Before that blasted Underworld
Gets my goat
My dreams are on you, kid
Go make ’em come true
Climb that uphill slope
Keep pushing that envelope
You’re my one last hope
And, kid, it’s up to you

“A Man Has Dreams” by David Tomlinson and Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins

A man has dreams of walking with giants
To carve his niche in the edifice of time
Before the mortar of his zeal
Has a chance to congeal

The cup is dashed from his lips
The flame is snuffed aborning
He’s brought to rack and ruin in his prime

My world was calm, well ordered, exemplary
Then came this person, with chaos in her wake
And now my life’s ambitions go with one fell blow
It’s quite a bitter pill to take

A spoonful of sugar that is all it takes
It changes bread and water into tea and cakes
A spoonful of sugar goes a long, long way
‘Ave yourself a ‘ealthy ‘elpin’ ev’ry day

You’re a man of ‘igh position
Esteemed by your peers
And when your little tykes are cryin’
You ‘aven’t time to dry their tears
And see them grateful little faces
Smilin’ up at you
Because their dad, ‘e always knows
Just what to do

You’ve got to grind, grind, grind
At that grindstone
Though child’ood slips like sand through a sieve
And all too soon they’ve up and grown
And then they’ve flown
And it’s too late for you to give
Just that spoonful of sugar
To ‘elp the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down
