When we showed our bellies
we wore teeny tiny tops
And we were teeny tiny ourselves
We thought we were cute
Because we were
In the seventies...

Purple or orange cars just drove away!...

     my body springs to attention like a rusty door…

     I wouldn't be near this sore ...

The old “seven inch” vinyl type of music way!

Drop by those old Record shops and take a quick look!

Join the groovy “nostalgia seventies” sway!...
