THE DECADES
I am Farrah Fawcett poster on
The wall.
I am rotary phone when I made
A call.
I am, Boss, it’s the plane,
The plane.
I am Pablo Escobar and his
Cocaine.
I am Queen with Freddy Mercury
Live.
I am the Bee Gees talking that
Jive.
I am we have the technology to
Make him better.
I am Charles Manson as
Helter-Skelter.
I am vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes
And CD's.
I am keep on trucking and
Hippies.
I am where is the beef? And
Don't squeeze the Charmin.
I am Cheech and Chong and
George Carlin.
I am SNL when it was
Funny.
I am Hugh Hefner and his
Playboy bunny.
I am MTV when they played
Music videos.
I am Baretta, Dirty Harry and
Al Pacino.
I am American-Bandstand, free love
And the twist.
I am pay phones, pagers and
Stick-shifts.
I am conjunction junction what's
Your function.
I am Patty Hearst and her
Abduction.
I am Star Wars, jaws and
Rocky.
I am Welcome Back Kotter and
Sweat-hog cocky.
I am gas station lines and
Roller skates.
I am Stonewall, Women's lib
And Watergate.
I am stretch-Armstrong, Lite-Brite
And pong.
I am Barry Manilow in I write the
Songs.
I am M.A.S.H. and a metal
Lunch-box.
I am clackers, tang and a
Pet-rock.
