Back in '46 the I was born, learned a lot of things, it was the end of the war, Sweets on ration, there wasn't much fashion, But everybody had fun, there was so to be done, in the air, new coats on the chair, You could out a light, and go out at night The brought new sounds to the air, The comics we bought, were of good gear, Superman, Spiderman, Marvelman, Dan, Superboy, Wonderboy, Fab Four, Rob Roy When I was real small, I went to school, play on the fields, or go to the pool, We might a camp and hide from out dads, Or go to the park and out 'till dark, doctors and nurse and chase all the girls, They'd their mums and we would be cursed We'd chew lots of gum, knock and run, do or dare, and get real scared, The big boys would laugh they thought were hard, We'd kiss our first and show thew our stick, Those times are gone but it's goin' on, I remember those days and it turns me on I heard rock an' roll when I was ten, It was Bill voice, I was layin' in bed, Rock around the was a big hit, But I didn't catch on 'till I Elvis sing, Hound dog was the song and it take long, To get a guitar and boppin' along Well, I got up a and wrote some tunes, Hit the in early June, man, In the summertime, I've lived hard, I've fine, Seen the world, and flown, the best, seen the worst.
