Cavalier Days

SultryRose's Signatures

I still can recall those beat-ifull days
the dances at the naffi and the ship where they played
the beat it was loud and the music was cool
we were all the wiser that side of Poole

the songs that we sung and the music went twang
our heartbeats were quick and it went with a bang
the long hair and drainpipes with beatle new boots
we were young but much wiser n not old in the tooth

the durberville hall and the cricket pitch green
the sounds of the guns from the bovington scenes
the laughter and frolics and ballroom attires
the mods and the rockers along with the squires

the music was rich then as they strummed a few chords
from trips to the oceans on queen Elizabeth's world
the band played a medley of Beatles and rock
where teenagers gathered in their best gear and smocks

near lulworths great bay and durdles wide door
where tanks they did roll and emblems cross swords
the garrison nearby with its history of shaw
close by the river banks where hardy explored

they drunk from the ship inn and danced on the floor
in the old hut that's not there anymore
the guys they had long hair and the girls beehive too
they snogged on the dance floor close to the loos

the music they played was out of this world
they sang all the standards and we heard every word
the Morley's and Jones boy sung out the songs
wel never forget them as we sang them along

the nights then were free and full of good cheer
as we ate up our crisps and drunk of fine beer
those days are gone now but the music lives on
in the minds of the dreamers who still sing the songs

the cavalier days and the barbecue sets
the walks in the country
we will never forget
