A Sixties child

Down to the disco giving it the moves 
Funky flares Getting down with the grooves 

Black Sabbath with their heavy metal sound
Losing control, shaking your head around 


On the dancefloor giving it all you have got
Going to festivals smoking pot 

Hippy clothes and platform shoes getting drunk on cheap bootleg booze 

A drive in your car to a nice quiet place 
Hoping tonight you get to third base

They were the days when everything was wild
I must have been great to be a sixties child
