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 had fun, there was so much to be done, Peace in the air, new on the chair, You turn out a light, and go out at night The radio 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 build a and hide from out dads, Or go to the and stay out 'till dark, Play doctors and nurse and all the girls, They'd tell mums and we would be cursed chew lots of gum, knock doors and run, Play do or dare, and get scared, The big boys would laugh they they were hard, We'd our first chick and show thew our stick, Those times are gone but it's goin' on, I remember days and it still turns me on I first rock an' roll when I was ten, It was Bill Haley's voice, I was in bed, around the clock was a big hit, But I didn't catch on 'till I Elvis sing, Hound dog was the song and it didn't long, To get a guitar and boppin' along Well, I got up a group and some tunes, Hit the in early June, man, In the summertime, I've lived hard, lived fine, the world, sailed and flown, Seen the best, the worst.
