Bellevue Cadillac - Black And White

When I was young my time was double
T.v. moms and teenage troubles
Everything I watched was black and white
I come home each day from school
And watch old rko cartoons
All those cats and mice in black and white

They'd jump and jive
Roll their eyes
Sakes alive
I was mesmerized

Bumble bees with famous faces
Dine and dance in fancy places
Hollywood and vine was quite a sight

Start out in a real brown derby
Then turn sardi's topsy turvy
All the stars were out in black and white

They'd jump and jive
Roll their eyes
Sakes alive
I was mesmerized
Lombard harlow marx and gable
Horses skunks and minks in sable
Putting on the ritz in black and white

But the music I remember more
Count basie, duke and louis Jordan
Made my favorite colors black and white

They'd jump and jive
Roll their eyes
Sakes alive
I was mesmerized
