evening

While GRANDAD Used to be Precise OF THE BOPPERS evening

The following come Johnny, Dougie
and Ray
Heading for the Vic down
St Ann's Means,
With Tony Curtis brow
locks
And toes shod I fluorescent
socks.

Epidermis tight pants with the
new 'zip' fly,
Lengthy drape jacket and
Narrow Jim tie.
Brothel creepers for additonal
top,
'Teds' dressed up for a
Friday night time.

Plastic popper beads at
their throats,
The ladies arrive and look at various
their coats,
There may be Patsy, Gwen and
Peggy Harris
Who proportion a dab of an
night in Paris.

Invoice Hayley kiss curls
body their face,
As they hitch their nylon
seams in position,
Securing the padding in
their Whirlpool bra,
This chortle of women now
head for the bar.

Ignoring the Teds when
'clocking' their equipment,
The Elvis sideburns, Cliff
Richard leer.
Tottering by using on a whiff
of fragrance
They bypass the boys to
the tip of the room.

It truly is Babycham for those
younger lasses
Even though Teds sup shandy
in 1/2-pint glasses.
Strange to assume those females
and lads
Could be the following day's mums
and dads.

Through the country, at
village hops,
Young children accumulated to jig to Accurate
Of The Pops,
A simply present for per week
of labor -
The manufacturing facility hand, the
miner and clerk.

A question of satisfaction, not ever
been at the dole,
Now they Creep and Jive
and Rock and Roll.
It truly is the cream of
1950s early life,
Refreshing and natural and brief
inside the the teeth.

Skirts tight on knees and
generally known as 'Hobble',
Strength tiny steps to make
bums wobble,
Or sugar stiff skirts of
fancy web
They caught to legs whilst
jived up a sweat.

Reet Petite had them
swirling, whirling,
Kiss curls bouncing,
quiffs uncurling.
Spinning toes in winkle
pickers,
Coach stocking tops and
lacy knickers.

The lighting now dim as
the beat slows down,
The men make a grasp
for the highest lass round.
With head on his shoulder,
she'll dance and hum
And battle to maintain arms
off her bum!

This can be how grandad met
his spouse,
And he or she's made him blissful
all his lifestyles.
See his sepia portraits, whilst
of hair he'd an awful lot,
And spot him smile at the ones
fluorescent socks!
