All in the Family and Simpsons' parody lyrics compared

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 knew who 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.

Homer: Oy, the way the Bee Gee's played,

Marge: Movies John Travolta made,

Homer: Guessing how much Elvis weighed,

Homer & Marge: Those were the days!

Marge: And you knew where you were then,

Homer: Watching shows like "Gentle Ben",

Homer & Marge: Mister, we could use a man like Sheriff Lobo again!

Homer: Disco Duck and Fleetwood Mac,

Marge: Coming out of my eight-track,

Homer & Marge: Michael Jackson still was black, those were the days!

[later]

Homer: Bart was feeling mighty blue

Marge: I'ts a shame what school can do

Apu: For no reason, here's Apu

All: Those were the days!
