Have you ever been stuck on words to the theme song for All in the Family? 

If this is your situation, you're not alone! Many individuals appear to have problems with the last few lines.

The lyrics are: "Gee are old LaSalle ran great, Those Were the Days!"

For those wondering what a Lasalle is..it was a car built by General Motors in the 1940s. It sold as a companion to Cadillac.

 
 
All in the Family Theme Song Lyrics


Short Version (Aired at beginning of episodes)

"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!"

Full Version 
"Boy, the way Glen Miller played. Songs that made the Hit Parade. Guys like us, we had it made. Those were the days! Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight Gee, our old LaSalle (a car) ran great. 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. People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent. Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days! Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Dodgers win. Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin (five dollar bill). Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song. I don't know just what went wrong! Those Were the Days!"
