Nineteen sixties was a great time for me
I met the girls of my dreams
Several times the dream walked towards me
More than one turned into nightmares
I was on active reserves
Gary Cooper died and I was preparing for duty
The Bay of Pigs 24 hours to get to Maris Air force Base
Ty Cobb died and Ernest Hemingway Committed suicide
I was trying to figure out how Algebra would help me
Calculus was a foreign language
So was Spanish until today
When the Russian ships turned back
I was free to find the girl of my dreams and did
My favorite song was, "I only have eye for you!" the Flamingoes
I even opened a book now and then and was getting grades
Some liked three points I was happy with two
Disaster struck my injury put me out for the season
Without basketball there was no need to be in school
The search for knowledge I was no fool
Syrians rebel and end ties to Egypt
American and Soviet tanks face each other
Chubby Checker has us all doing the twist
I found the only girl I had eyes for my eye did mist
My old girlfriend the last time kissed
Married I needed a job superior education was a drawback
I found a job loading and unloading Greyhound buses
You gotta do what you gotta do to feed your family
I worked my way up to third in line for terminal manager
About the time the business went on strike and became mute
Mersey Beat 1962 Beatles top poll my interest in rock in roll
My next job lasted 36 years my marriage so far 53
First American John Glenn orbits the earth
Wilt Chamberlain scores 100 points in a game
He barely beat my record of 33 points one game
I am not totally stupid once had a four point quarter
Creative writing and art appreciation
Adviser said you have four years college
Do you have any thoughts of getting a degree?
He informed me with three health credits I had an associates degree
I was a medic in emergency four years--all the degrees
and college I needed but someday well go back
And get the degree I want but do not really lack
Enough of this talking smack
