The Twisting Fifties And Sixties

Each generation has its own memories
But nothing to compare to the good
Old fifties and sixties.
These were the years of the birth of rock
Mini skirts and bobby socks.
A bit of jazz, a bit of soul
Putting them together it took control.

Then came ELVIS with his gyrating hips
Making all the young girls
Pucker up their lips.
Every song was a story to be told
And the concert tickets all were sold.

The MOON GLOWS, THE HEARTBEATS,
THE FLAMINGOES and such
Had us all hypnotized to this touch.
These songs would touch our hearts and souls
And dancing to this music
Our lives would unfold.

Our parents would scream and holler
And tell us to stop.
Then the twist came out
And their minds would pop.
They joined this craze that shook the world
Of every young boy and girl.
No other generation has been able to compare
To the love songs of yesteryear.
