peter stampfel - once upon a long long time ago lyrics

Loading...

once upon a long long time ago the sky was bluer
once upon a long long time ago
once upon a long long time ago true lover was truer
once upon a long long time ago

men knew how to teach their sons
mothers all were perfect ones
purely heaven, all the live long day
air was clean, water sweet
kids could play ball in the street
everybody loved the usa

once upon a long long time ago rainbows were brighter
once upon a long long time ago
once upon a long long time ago our might was whiter
once upon a long long time ago

no confusion as to race
everybody knew their place
white was right, what was wrong with that?
cowboys good, indians bad
minstrel shows would make us glad
every single fella wore a hat

once upon a long long time ago our kids were tougher
once upon a long long time ago
once upon a long long time ago there lives were rougher
once upon a long long time ago
12 hour days, 6 day weeks jobs for kids were not unique
10 percent of babies died at birth
5 percent of mothers too
most were dead by 52
tell me what the good old days are worth

once upon a long long time ago it sure was awful
once upon a long long time ago
lynchings happened all the time, every drug was lawful
once upon a long long time ago

people hung for stealing bread
“hang ‘em high,” the judges said
black plaque and inquisition too
dentist drills were cranked by hand
art was the promised land
i’m so glad the good old days are through

once upon a long long time ago the sky was bluer
once upon a long long time ago
once upon a long long time ago true lover was truer
once upon a long long time ago

men knew how to teach their sons
mothers all were perfect ones
purely heaven, all the live long day
air was clean, water sweet
kids could play ball in the street
everybody loved the usa
