1950's
THE 50'S ARRIVED
SUCH A GRAND TIME
POODLE SKIRTS
LONG WHITE SHIRTS
CHARCOAL BLAZERS
I MILLER SLINGS
DA HAIRCUTS
ALL SORTS OF THINGS
THOSE WERE THE DAYS WE FONDLY RECALL
WHEN BODIES WERE FORMS WALKING DOWN THE WILBY HALL
HAIR ON OUR HEADS AS IT SHOULD BE
SMOOTH SILKY SKIN - WRINKLE FREE
OH BRING BACK THOSE DAYS JUST ONE MORE TIME
AND LETS GO TO THE CHOCOLATE SHOP OR THE HANDY
KITCHEN HAVE A COKE FOR A DIME
DANCING AT CALO'S AND CORKEYS OR ONE OF THOSE PLACES
THE PRE-GAME BASHES
HOW FAR WE'VE COME FROM THOSE INSECURE TEENS
AND NOW WE ARE PERMED AND DYED IN VERY LARGE JEANS
THE PLAYTEX GIRDLES ARE GONE
AND IT'S ALL HANGING OUT
WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE TEETH AND TO BE MOVING ABOUT
SO
LET'S APPRECIATE WHERE WE ARE AND BE THANKFUL EVERY DAY
