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