Back in '46 the I was born, They a lot of things, it was the end of the war, were on ration, there wasn't much fashion, But had fun, there was so much to be done, in the air, new coats on the chair, You could turn out a light, and go out at The brought new sounds to the air, The comics we bought, were full of gear, Superman, Spiderman, Marvelman, Dan, Superboy, Wonderboy, Fab Four, Rob Roy When I was small, before 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 stay out dark, Play doctors and and chase all the girls, They'd tell their mums and we would be We'd chew lots of gum, doors and run, do or dare, and get real scared, The big boys would they thought they were hard, We'd kiss our first chick and show our stick, Those times are gone but still goin' on, I remember those and it still turns me on I first heard rock an' when I was ten, It was Haley's voice, I was layin' in bed, Rock around the was a big hit, But I didn't on 'till I heard Elvis sing, Hound dog was the and it didn't take long, To get a and start boppin' along Well, I got up a and wrote some tunes, Hit the charts in June, man, In the summertime, I've lived hard, lived fine, Seen the world, and flown, Seen the best, the worst.
