Such Fun Back In '61

The undersides of school chairs all gooey with gum We thought it such fun back in sixty-one In sixty-two we tore fruit loops from the backs of girls' shirts The innocent way we first learned to flirt In sixty-three we all wore skin-tight 'H.I.S.' pants That ripped near your bulges when you started to dance Memories glorious like your first cigarette Or a long drawn-out kiss with that gorgeous brunette

I had forgotten about the gum under chairs. That is so delightful when you reach under there.
