SEVENTY-SIX
We were happy in '76
although we had nix.
And we were young in '76,
living for kicks.
Full of beans in '76,
up to our tricks
Boys were skins in '76
and girls were chicks.
When we went out in '76
we went to the flicks.
Now it's not '76
we live in the sticks.
We stay at home (oh '76!)
a pair of hicks.
Then one of us remembers '76,
gets out the pics.
There we are, as large as life,
in '76.

This century it comes
In year Sixty-one
So pencil it into your diary!
