Oh those oldies
Weren’t they goodies
And you were a 1950 Classic
Strong and sturdy and true
One thing those songs remind me
They sure don’t make them like they used to
Twisting and shouting
With the King of Rock and Roll
And all those tunes made the girls swoon
In those happy days
For me it was vinyl spinning
And 8 tracks without rewind
Singing along with you and momma
And everything was fine
Late night games of cards and dominoes
Lucky me got to be the dj on your special stereo
Crushed velvet red covering the speakers
Nice wooden case
What a beauty she could play
Vinyl, 8 tracks and cassettes
What’s your pleasure
We got a treasure trove of hits
BJ Thomas didn’t mind the rain
Neil Diamond loved Caroline and red wine
We had Young Girls and Spooky ones too
And Johnny Rivers had the Midnight Special
And Elvis even rocked in the jail
And his swinging hips could love tenderly too
Singing all night and playing games
And if you got the Rocking Pneumonia and The Boogie Woogie flu
We had the tunes that would cure you
Listening to those oldies now
Is like a sip of sweet Sarsaparilla Soda with a bite of ginger
Makes me smile , but it stings on the back side
But Brother Love’s Salvation Travelling Show
Got some things right
And next time we sing together
It will be in the Sweet By and By
So I will sing on and hold on to the memories
until I am in the better home awaiting
in the sky , Lord in the sky
Stabbing Windmills
