I think back to those halcyon days

When Jimmy Hendrix played Purple Haze

Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones

Not for me then, creaking bones

Dezi Arnez loved Lucy Ball

James Bond was Thunderball

Larry Hagman “dreamt of genie”

David Bowie sang “Genie Genie”

Beach Boys, played “Get around”

On balmy days, a summer sound.

Flower power in San Francisco

Donna Summer creating Disco

Elvis sang Love me Tender

Followed by Return to Sender

Buddy Holly and Peggy Sue

Carl Perkins, Blue Suede Shoes

Then there were crisis ways

Castro nearly ended our days

The Cuba crisis was nearly war

Like one we had not known before

We lost some idols in that time

Buddy and the Big Bopper in fifty-nine

Shortly after Kennedy his fate he’d meet

Gunned down in a Dallas street

The sixties were great times for fun

The teenage era had really begun

Yep, I had a great time in many ways

Back then in those Halcyon Days
