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.
