THE ROARING TWENTIES lyrics

they say the roaring twenties
were a hundred years ago
but the roaring twenties
are a state of mind you know

teenagers are so horny
they aint got no control
and when you're in your thirties
you start moving kinda slow

but in the roaring twenties
you should know you got it all
drink and dancing all night long
go and have yourself a ball

and when the sun is rising
go back home and go to bed
get your beauty sleep now honey
cause tomorrow might be dead

roaring twentie roaring twenties
back when sex was something sleezy
and you could only get your booze
from a gangster or speakeasy

better enjoy it while you can
everyday you're getting older
live it up that's the plan
because some day it will be over

I met him laughing in Times Square
he said he only wanted fun
we ran around as on a dare
as if we lived under the gun

he said I don't want you to love me
I only want to see you smile
and so we raced around Manhattan
for miles and miles and miles

roaring twenties roaring twenties
back when sex was something sleezy
and you could only get your booze
from a gangster or speakeasy

better enjoy it while you can
everyday you're getting older
live it up that's the plan
because some day it will be over

that was just a month ago
I remember it like yesterday
dream about it don't you know
but you know what they all say

if you blink you'll miss the chance
to have yourself a fine romance
regardless of the circumstance
just dance and dance and dance and dance !
