    Way Back In The 1960's

    I was a young man back in the 1960s.
    Yes, you made your own amusements then,
    For going to the pictures;
    Well, the travel was hard, and I mean
    We still used the wheel.
    But you could sit down at your table
    And eat a real food meal.

    But hey, you young people, well I just do not know,
    And I can't even understand you
    When you try to talk slow.

    There was one fellow singing in those days,
    And he was quite good, and I mean to say that
    His name was Bob Dylan, and I used to do gigs too
    Before I made my first million.
    That was way, way back before,
    before wild World War Three,
    When England went missing,
    And we moved to Paraguayee.

    But hey, you young people, I just do not know,
    And I can't even understand you
    When you try to talk slow.

    Well, I got a secret, and don't give us away.
    I got some real food tins for my 91st birthday,
    And your grandmother bought them
    Way down in the new antique food store,
    And for beans and for bacon, I will open up my door.

    But hey, you young people, well I just do not know,
    And I can't even understand you
    When you try to talk slow.

    Well, I was a young man back in the 1960s.
