Take a Walk on the Wild Side
We were hotter than the
Lava in our lamps.
Stood on Platform Shoes
Brushing our Wella hair while
Archie Bunker watched
The Jeffersons move on up.
Hung out at HoJo's
On the way to the Drive-In
Petting Rocks in Hot Pants
Waving Mood Ringed
Peace Signs, Shouting
Stop the War.
Power to the People.
No Wi Fi, Just Hi Fi
Battle of the Sexes
Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll.
Roe v. Wade and Women’s Lib
Built in Detroit Muscle Cars
rolled to a dead stop
in a Gas Line waiting to
Stay Alive-Drive 55 as
Evel Knievel popped a
wheelie and sailed by.
We were Out to Lunch
With a Far-Out, Jive Talkin’
Burn Out who caught our Drift
And Kept on Trucking.
As he was Streaking along
He yelled out, “Mellow Out,
You Out of Sight, Dy-no-mite,
Scooby Doo and Foxy Lady.”
Watching the Boob Tube
Right On, In the Groove
What’s Happening?
Can You Dig It?
Be There or Be Square
10-4 Good Buddy.
