    My college roomate forgot to put a stop under my Lucent while I was in class one day. That night I had this a legendary white head that I popped in his mouth while he was sleeping.

    Boy the way Glen Miller played,
    songs that made the hit parade,
    guys like us we had it made,
    those were the days,
    and you know 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 states everybody pulled his weight,
    gee our old Lasalle ran great,
    those were the days!
